I’m crafting the resume with a “Christian” first name. Let’s see how this plays out.

My husband has had a “Christian” name for 30+ years now.

for example. Hasim becomes James/Jim
That’s a great idea!
Names are precious. Keep your real name for with your loved ones , in private of course.
They’re more likely to go with Harry or Sam
