Please for the love of whoever or whatever you believe in or if you just do not want to look like an idiot... do not misspell your own name on a resume.

Welcome to the Minnesota Headhunter Blog. My name is Paul DeBettignies (pronounced De-Bett-ingz).
I started writing this blog in May of 2005 to share thoughts and ideas I had as an IT recruiter.
Since then I expanded this site to include local recruiter jobs, help Minnesota nonprofits find IT volunteers and employees, links to Minnesota business news, and promote the local tech community.
I am the Managing Partner of Nerd Search, LLC a Minneapolis IT search firm, Co Founder and Coordinator of Minnesota Recruiters and a frequent local and national speaker and article contributor on recruiter, HR, career, networking and social media topics.
Have a question, comment, inquiry?
Send me an email paul@mnheadhunter.com
Thank you for reading.

We once received misspelled information on a resume. The recruiting company (to not be named) modified the interviewee's resume and in the process misspelled the name and website of a Web Designer. When they arrived for their interview, I informed them of the issue and they were very appreciative and were not happy with the recruiter.

Question: when you're in the process of changing your name (i.e. me) what name do you put on your resume? Legal name? Name that I would like to be hired under?
Another reason why changing your name stinks.
