Help with writting dates

Maybe sounds funny, but I'm not sure how to write dates in English in the correct way, I looked at Internet but opinions are different.

1. question- Is it correct to write: "In 2007. hired by...

2. question- Is it correct to write: "June 10. - June 22. 2009." when you want to say that something was happening beetwen 10. and 22. June.

  • Please, I need help as fast as it can.

I am a native to England. This is what I would do:-

1) In 2007, I was hired by.......

2) between 10th and 22nd June 2009, Or just write 'between 10-22 June 2009'

In England we write the dates like this:

ex: 1. Written In full: 5th April, 2014 or shorthand: 5. 4. 2014 or also like this 5/4/2014

e:x 2. Written in full: 1st July, 2010 or shorthand (abbreviated form) 1.7.2010 or 1/7/2010

On official forms, including online forms, you sometimes have to write the date like this/in this format: 07. 05. 2014 (7th May, 2014)

However, the Americans write it differently from the English speakers in England, when they write the shorthand ( abbreviated) version, reversing the order in which the month and day appear:

Americans: 5 (month) 7.(day) 2014 (year)

English: 7th (day) 5 (month) 2014 (year)

I think it is very important to be aware of the differences between the English and American styles, especially if you ever have to fill in official forms giving your date of birth corectly

I hope this helps smile

If you are preparing your resume for a job, you would write:

2007, hired by...

You would say that something was happening between June 10 and June 22, 2009. (Use a comma) By the way, this is American style of writing the date.

I hope it helps.
