Ya, I would probably recommend mentioning it in your cover letter because if they contact some of your references who know you as your old name, that may not look so good, when they call up, and ask about you, and the reference replies they don't know who you are. Other than that it shouldn't be too big of a deal, but better safe than sorry. Good luck!

I guess it depends a bit on why you changed your name...
There's plenty of perfectly legitimate reasons to change your name, of course - but also some shady ones too! 
[old debts, criminal past, stalker boyfriend/girlfriend/obsessed fan etc]
If you think it might be a problem, then as C. Vaughan pointed out a little note in the cover letter should do it. |
