How Do I Introduce A Nickname During A Job Interview?

Alex
I have a job interview at red lobster today (so its not like a formal interview) but I was just wondering how I'm supposed to introduce it? I really hate my legal name and I don't want to take the chance of waiting until (or if) I get hired to tell them because by then they probably would have already made me a name tag.....

Just say "my friends call me ____, it's the name that I'm used to". |

As they greet you and shake hands you say, "John Smith, but I go by Jimmy." |

When introducing yourself say: Hi my name is __________________but I go by ____________________. |

When you first meet the interviewer, shake their hand and say "Hi, I'm (nickname)". |

I agree with all of these answers. Just don't be forceful about having to use a nickname, or even have a friend stop by and call you by the name, it could catch on a little bit. |
