It depends on your level of expertise.
As a middle level employee or working employee you must give your work experience.
Organization look for a person, which can deliver, thus, your work and achievements are highly important.
Even if you are applying for internships or your first job, Emphasize more on What you have Done, like your reports, projects etc.

Its depends on the job vacancy that you are looking for you can put the education first if you are graduated from a faculty thats taking you in the same field you are looking for, and you can put the experience first if your education has nothing to do with the job.
Simply think that you are in the other side what will you look for first.

Work experience should come first if you have sufficient experience.
If you are a novice you can put education first.
Earlier we had a concept that academic qualufications and high scoring in examinations will help you in getting a job.
But now that concept is changed.
It is one of the important factors still experience and your ability to present yourselves infront of the recruiter will help you a lot to grab the opportunity.
