Thanks 'Money9111'.
I have another question guys. ( plz bear with me). Where would high school projects/presentation come in? A separate heading called Projects?

And what wud the flow now:

1. Education
2. Work Exp (inc Internship)
3. Projects
4. Accomplishments

?

Thanks

High School projects? I don't think they are appropriate on a resume. There may be extenuating cases. What type of projects are you referring too?
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

I'm making a resume for a cousin. She is an undergrad with one internship under her belt and part time working with her father.
for more content I thought of including 12th grade group projects ( just to show team work, communication & leading abilities)....

What do you think?

I am confused about the education first as well. I am currently working towards receiving my MBA and am applying for internships. I have never had any full-time work experience. Should I put my education and then relevant internships?
