It’s your choice what name to include on your résumé or cover letter. You can use your legal name, a preferred one or both (e.g., James “Jazz” Smith). Consider the organization’s culture and how you wish to present yourself throughout the job process, from applications to interviews and offers of employment. Most importantly, you’ll want to be consistent. If using multiple names, you may want to send an email notifying HR of the discrepancy if they offer you the job. You may be asked for legal documentation or letters of reference using multiple names.
