Employers. Is my hard to pronounce name stopping me from landing work? It's been around 3 weeks now and i'm worried sick, i've worked for the past 10 years solid (no unemployment) and I am now worried. I have on My CV that i was born in England, my nationality is British, however my dad is foreign so I have a hard to pronounce name. I'm not applying for work out of my league but i'm getting nothing. A friend of a friend had the same issue and changed his name to something easy to pronounce and he managed to get work. Is this something I should look into?
