Sent the police check to employer.

It had my old name on it as well so I explained that I changed it due to having issues landing interviews in corporate in the past.

Let’s see what happens.

Employers just wanna be able to pronounce your name. Do want you gotta do to get that job. 🤞

Yeah, I’d err on not explaining unless asked. (Equally got really upset at being asked why for mortgage docs)

My father changed his traditional European first name to fit in socially as people had trouble pronouncing it. It used to be very common to change names in Australia. Just say it’s easier.

Saying it was to get a job implies employers are racist and might be deemed as you insulting them or blaming others. ( yes, many ARE racist and it’s been proven HR often rejects based on name but they might get a bit upset if you point it out )
