How do people handle names with job applications? In the past I've just used my legal/dead name but now I'm using my chosen name on top and adding a note on my resume of my legal name and that I'm trans. It's a little awkward and I'm worried about discrimination, but idk how best to approach it.
For context I've mostly been working blue coller in warehouses or doing data entry or light technical repair type stuff, and I'm applying in blue areas in the US.
i personally wouldn't disclose my legal name until I was like, hired and had to do so for payroll or whatever. your choice but I felt more comfortable just only going by my chosen name immediately when it came to that stuff and wouldn't bother disclosing I was trans at such an early stage of the process either. certainly not something I'd put right on the CV. I don't live in the US so I'm not really familiar with the specific hiring climate you're in though, but I would think that would be an unusual thing to do
this is good advice imo
Half the time when youre filling out a form you can just brute force your name, i almost never use my government name for anything
(though I've also not managed to land a job in two years since i started applying for work)
But i also know people who use their government name everywhere, mate I dont think netflix cares if your account name doesnt match your credit card
yeah I've never had to use govt name anywhere really I think airline tickets is the one exception. even payment info my bank doesn't give a shit that it doesn't match. it feels good to just use your chosen name and you're entitled to so you should:)
