I wholeheartedly believe that names can hurt you. Prime example is MY name.
My name is pretty much one that you would not think is African American (just by my last name). I have no problem getting interviews...but when I walk in...the look of...."How did we let this one get in" appears on thier face.
I discovered that people also donot believe my resume or my qualifications once they SEE me. I spend more time answering questions that are obviously "you lying and we are going to catch you in a lie" type questions then talking about what I can offer the company.
I finally just gave up.
