Use the right variety of English

It’s important to use the right kind of English, depending on where you’re applying for a job. US English is prevalent in the US and Canada, while UK English is used for most other countries. There quite a lot of differences between UK and US English for your CV. Some of the most common are:

• UK “ise” vs US “ize” in words such as maximise/maximize
  UK “ou” vs US “o” in words like colour/color
  UK “ence” vs US “ense” in words like licence/license
  UK “re” vs US “er” in words like centre/center

It’s also worth noting some differences in vocabulary that might arise on your CV. While many UK applicants have graduated from “university”, those in the US will have graduated from “college”.
