[Student] How strict should I be with reverse chronological order on my resume when ordering experience?
I'm a current CS student updating my resume, and I'm not sure what's considered best practice.
I have:
* An ongoing tutoring/teaching role at my university where I help teach programming concepts. I started this before my internships and I still do it during the school semesters, so it's currently listed as "Present." * Two software engineering internships that I completed after starting the tutoring/teaching role.
My instinct is to order my experience like this:
1. Most recent SWE internship 2. Previous SWE internship 3. Ongoing tutoring/teaching role
Even though the tutoring/teaching role is technically still "Present."
To me, it tells a much clearer story of my progression into software engineering, and it feels odd to have the tutoring/teaching role above or between my SWE internships just because it's ongoing.
Is this generally considered fine, or does strict reverse chronological order matter that much? In a situation like this, is it acceptable to effectively sort by start date/relevance instead of putting every "Present" position first?
