My table is coming above the title I want it to be

Question

My code is something like this whereas the table is coming above the section "Work experience".

\section{Work experience}

\begin{table}

\caption{Research Experience}

\centering

\begin{tabular}{|l|p{3cm}|l|p{3cm}|l|}

\hline

S. No. & Employer’s name & Post Held & Length of service (date) & Nature of work \\

\hline

 1 & Sardar Vallabhai National Institute of Technology & Research Associate & From--August 2013 To--Till Date & Research \\ 

 \hline

 2 & Sardar Vallabhai National Institute of Technology & --- & From--January 2012 To-July 2013 & Research \\

\hline

\end{tabular}

\end{table}

You don't HAVE to use table, especially if you want a tabular to show up at a particular location. Use \captionof from the caption package if you want a caption. — John Kormylo, May 14 '15 at 03:53
As of now, this post is a duplicate of How to influence the position of float environments like figure and table in LaTeX? However, as suggested, you don't need to use a table environment to insert a tabular. Since you're not using a \caption, you can do without the floating table. Could you please clarify that you're not interested in a caption? — Werner, May 14 '15 at 04:10

Since you're not using a \caption, you can insert a tabular without using a table environment. Use

\section{Working experience}

\begin{center}
  \begin{tabular}{..}
    ...
  \end{tabular}
\end{center}

If there is too much space between your use of \section and the tabular, then you can insert a negative \vspace{<len>}, or use the \centering declaration inside a group:

\section{Working experience}

{\centering
  \begin{tabular}{..}
    ...
  \end{tabular}\par
}

My table is coming above the title I want it to be
