Totally, but it depends on the story you're trying to tell. I'm still early in my career and my resume is broken up to provide a summary of key parts of my work/ career to date, the most relevant/recent experience first, then highlight skills, education, and finally a brief list of other positions I've held. I've definitely dropped jobs from that last section, so it's not a full dump. I'm listing these because that additional experience is relevant and both substantiates the summary/ skills section, and shows experience where I lack formal education.
In interviews, I've had people read that far down and it's worked, they got exactly what I wanted them to out of it. In other interviews, it's clear that they didn't care, but the resume still got me in the door. They still got the most important parts up top.
And of course, it depends on who you're interviewing with and what you're applying for. The rules aren't so hard and fast, esp. when you're sending over digital copies.
