I currenly put the name of the school I went to on one line and the degree I got on the second line in smaller font. For jobs, I put the company name on one line and then my title on the line below it in smaller font.

I'm wondering if I should reverse that:

currently:

UNIVERSITY XYZ
Bachelor of Arts, Major in Abc

I'm thinking to change it to:

BACHELOR OF ARTS, MAJOR IN ABC
University Xyz

The schools or the companies aren't the most top rated or well known...meaning it's not Harvard.

Same with the job

currently:

COMPANY XYZ

Job Title Here

Maybe I should change it to:

JOB TITLE HERE

Company Xyz

Any thoughts?

I do it the way you are (company name first) and I include the dates justified on the right margin. I feel this gives that portion a kind of block feel. I find it saves a line by not having the dates take their own line. I try hard to keep my resume on one page.
