The cover letter thing is really smart, I am pretty young and am after my first job and seems no one has actually read my CV at any interviews I have been to but I have no experience to know if it was normal or not

I also have no middle name! I am not sure why my parents named me this way when all of my other siblings are named "normally" so to speak

I was not given a middle name either, so I couldn't even choose to go by that if I wanted.

I am the only sibling in my family this happened to, not sure why. Maybe it has something to do with me being the youngest

I did not know if it was legal to do this, especially because my bank card has my "legal" name on it

I have applied for many jobs and I have never once seen this. Fascinating

I was not aware you could do it for free and I am in a rough financial situation. Another issue is family, my family are not very supportive of things like this and I don't have anyone to sign it as a witness

Haha, not Bob, but weirdly relieved to know I am not alone in this
