Advisor or Adviser

LisaB85

I've seen jobs on Totaljobs for Santander some asking for a Customer Service Advisor and others a Customer Service Adviser

Now I'm aware both spellings could be used, but while filling out an application form which way would you use?

I prefer to use adviser as it the more British way and I do have a decent level of English but now seeing 2 adverts from the same company using different spellings it has concerned me.

Their website says Advisor. I think I'd spell it that way too

Use whichever way the actual as you are applying for says....

Thing is if you search for jobs, a job in one part of the country says adviser and another says advisor lol x

I got that. If you are applying in Surrey and Surrey says one way then use that even if Sussex says it the other way.

She means that one part of the country recruiting on the Santander website says Adviser and a different part says Advisor. ie there is no consistency within the company not what are the general regional variations...

The only answer is to match the spelling to each actual job that is applied for - that person recruiting obviously thinks their spelling is correct and you don't want them to use it as a reason to file your application in File 13 [the bin].

I would spell it advisor. With the 'e' it could look to someone as if you don't know how to spell, even though it is really acceptable.
