CV Help: US vs. UK Spellings?

creativepgd · 2020-05-17 16:11:07

Am probably nit-picking here but am having trouble knowing when to use US vs UK spellings of words (analyze vs analyse for example). Normally I would use the UK spelling but what happens when a Job Description uses the US spelling? Would the ATS only recognise the US spelling in this case? Any tips would be helpful, thanks.

I would use the UK version if the position is based here.

+1 for UK version.

I wouldn't sweat it anyway as I don't think its a big deal for those reviewing the CVs.

Just no typos!
