Where should I place the treasurer position on my resume?

You might be debating whether to put your time as treasurer under your work experience section or volunteer section. There is no cookie-cutter answer to this question, as it depends on how much work experience you have, and if you want to find another position as a treasurer or in financial management after this.

If your experience as treasurer is not a part of your career journey, we recommend placing it in a volunteer section. This shows any future employer that you are an active member of your community, and that volunteering is important to you.

If you are looking for another financial position, we recommend placing it among your other work experiences as it directly relates to your future career.
