I am B2 in Spanish (going to get certified soon) , is this enough to list Business Proficiency? I don't actually plan on using this or joining any Spanish Coverage Team, purely for CV.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, listing "Business Proficiency" for a B2 level in Spanish might be a stretch. B2 typically indicates conversational fluency but not necessarily the advanced vocabulary and nuanced understanding required for business contexts. If you're not planning to use the language professionally or join a Spanish Coverage Team, it might be better to list it as "Conversational Spanish" or simply "Spanish (B2 Certified)" under a "Languages" section on your CV. This approach is more accurate and avoids overpromising your capabilities.
