Answer 1

The TOEFL

Answer 2

The TOEFL test is better for what you want to do.

The CAE is a good test, but it is more common in Europe than in America. In fact, most Americans don't know what the CAE is.

The other thing is that the CAE and the TOEFL are very different kinds of tests. With the CAE, you either pass or fail.  With the TOEFL, it is not possible to fail. Everybody who takes the TOEFL receives a score that rates how well they can speak, read, write, and understand English.  

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

TOEFL is the standard (that is to say, preferred) English Proficiency Exam certification for U.S. colleges and universities, as well as for American Employers who hire foreign nationals.

Will a good TOEFL score alone get you a good job in the U.S.?--Most definitely not.  But a good academic background and work history, combined with a good TOEFL score will most likely put you among the leading candidates for a specific position, all else being equal.

If you REALLY want to present yourself in the best possible light, to put you 'over the top', and you have the time, it would not hurt at all to add dialect training to your English course work.  I mean, in other words,  reduction of your native accent in English, to add or increase a more American-sounding accent.

This is in no way meant to deride or disparage your native accent.  It is just a reality of doing business in the U.S. that American job interviewers are psychologically predisposed, generally, to give a more favorable interview evaluation rating to the most American-sounding applicants.

There is, in fact, a great software program just for this type of training.  It is called, "Accent Master." Information on this program can be found at the website address given in the sources box.
