transHow should I handle previous (and current :/) employment when applying for professional-level jobs? I've not legally changed my name yet and I honestly don't know what is appropriate to put on my work experience.
If I list my name then prospective employers will be told I don't exist, by current and previous employers. If I list my old name I'm blatently drawing attention to myself.
I don't want that to be the first thing they notice and have them move on to the next resume, due to their assuming I will be too much for them to accommodate. Yes I want the world to change and for everyone to be openminded but I'm also trying to see this realistically.
thanks
