Standardize job titles by researching similar domestic roles. Translate education, certifications, and licensing to the US equivalent. Employ terminology and phrasing that aligns with comparable positions and industries. Showcase your unique value, such as cross-cultural communication, adaptability, and multilingual skills. Finally, double-check your spelling to ensure it aligns with US English.
