Hi, in a CV/resume, under the category of 'language:', is it meaningful to say 'fluency in English' simply?
If it's 'fluent in English' or 'fluency in English is good/satisfactory', it's meaningful, but I'm not sure whether Britons/Americans say 'fluency in English' simply.
@WBYeats,
An American would say "fluent in English" (or whatever other language they considered themselves to be fluent in); i suspect that an Englishman would say the same, but i can't state that to a certainty.
By the way, i would like to note the absurdity of an American or an Englishman writing "fluent in English" on a résumé which is written in English.
Thank you, Setan and JTT. Then let's change it. Would Britons/Americans say this in their CV/resume?
-Language Proficiency: fleuncy in Mandarin.
@WBYeats,
Once again, an American would be likely to write: fluent in Mandarin.

Wouldn't a person who needed to ask that question would be guilty of lying in their CV if they claimed to be fluent in English?
Stumble It!
