Thank you for the helpful info Patricio!

As for moving the education section further down, would you say this still holds true if you're a new grad? Thanks

I was wondering the same thing.

A new grad whose work experience, if existent, is not directly relevant seems to be better off having education at the top, followed by relevant projects or skills.

Hi Javier!

Well, if you are a recent grad, then there is probably not much that can go above education, right? 😛

If you did an internship while at University (something very common in a lot of places, specially Germany) you could put this experience above your education. If you didn't, it's fine. Put your degree first and list the things that most caught your interest while studying. If you did a group software project, put it here as well.
