A resume shall always have information arranged in order of importance to the employer.

If you were studying before applying for the job or belong to a field such as science where education remains higher than job experience mention your qualifications first. But work experience is mentioned before than education if you have one. Whichever of the two will help you more in selling yourself shall be mentioned first.

Mention all those things that you think a reader must know. Like: Who are you?
