[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadie is great. If you like the other names, that's fine, but you absolutely don't need a more formal name. IMO, that's an old-fashioned concept.[/quote]

I really think you should have a formal name. Last week I interviewed 2 women named Katie / Kati. I assume that was their legal name because it was on the top of their resume. You should at least have your resume and email say Katherine and then say "you can call me Katie" when we meet.  I though it made them seem less professional and younger than they were. I can look past it to their skills, but I'm the closing interview / final decision. I'm sure there are lots of interesting names that don't get past HR for a phone interview because of unconscious bias. [/quote]

Anybody who would dump a resume based on the name being "Katie" instead of "Katherine" ought to be really ashamed of themselves. Not to mention that their boss should fire them for incompetence (if they have a boss. If they don't have a boss, they deserve what they get.)[/quote]
