…but if your parents got creative with your name, expect to become a string of letters and don’t expect people who have only met you over the phone to know that it’s Souix and not Sue. Your differences are important, but during the interview and hiring process, expect to meet people that don’t know how to spell or pronounce your name. At the same time, don’t let them call you Joe if your name is Harvinder. Politely correct them and they will learn in time. Get testy about it and they will remember you as they throw your resume in the trash can.
