XP: Name on resume question
I go by a nickname of my middle name. How do I label my resume? My legal name or the name I go by or my legal name with the name I go by in parenthesis or quotations? What would you suggest?
Example: Mary Catherine but go by Cate. (that is not my real name)
I posted this on 9-5, but haven't had any responses.
I am in DESPERATE need of a job. Anyone know of any places that are hiring. I am looking for an office manager/admin asst position.

i googled "nickname on resume" and saw this response -
Feel free to use Evelyn "Eve" [then your last name on the resume]. I'm a Certified Professional Resume Writer & Career Coach . . . this is a very appropriate way indicate a "nickname." As the other poster stated . . . J. Eve lastname is also appropriate.
Any kind of office position. I have over seven years of working in an office environment, so that's what I'm going for. I'm also finishing my business admin degree.
I don't want there to be any confusion as to who I am. Do you think that would happen if my resume says one thing but my legal paperwork says another?
No. I don't think there would be any confusion. Who would confuse them? I am a recruiter and this happens all the time. If they called your references they would know you by your nickname too. Other than that, I don't see where there would be confusion. Lots of people have different names on their resumes. For instance, people that have hard to pronounce names or ethnic names sometimes have a shortened name or American name on their resume. I don't see their legal name until they complete their background check form.
You say you are looking for an office job but that response is vague. There are a lot of jobs in offices. What type of work experience do you have? What types of jobs can you do?

This is exactly what I was going to suggest. I've looked over a lot of job applications, and I think that this is the most clear.
There won't be any confusion. Put the name you go by because when they call, that's the name they'll call you as. If and when you get hired and have to fill out formal paperwork, you'll have to put your legal name on there to match up with your SSN and also for any verification of your edcuation (if necessary). I spent many years in HR and it's very common/normal to put the name people refer to you as.
