@0xabad1dea You can put any name you want on your resumé, they don’t check. Just tell them your legal name when they want to make you an offer.

@ClickyMcTicker @shac @0xabad1dea the way to handle this is to not ask for a name in the first place. There is even a bias in names by itself, like if the name is common in certain parts of the world. |

Speaking as a non-manager who sits on interviews for new employees, having an entirely different name on your resume is going to be a massive red flag (for me, at least). If you’re casually lying about your name, what else are you flat out lying about? Do most people exaggerate on their resume? Probably. Do I want someone who will call a customer and lie about their name? Absolutely not.
