I use my middle name. Should I make this known on my CV?
If so, how would I do that? Maybe (John) Ganbaro Smith?

Hi ganbaro,

It's okay to include your middle name on your resume if it's the name that most people call you. You can explain that you use your middle name during interviews and/or the application process. If you also use your first name in business situations or for formal documents like degrees, you can state your name like this: Firstname "Middlename" Lastname. The quotes around your middle name infer that it's your nickname.

Kim. Thank you. I was thinking of dropping my first name, but my first name is a strong, traditional name that looks somehow empowering on a CV. My middle name is too unusual. So, I'll write out my full name.

I got started on names when I read this on a CVs Dos and Donts:
Do put your 'known' name up front, in brackets if necessary. If you were named by your parents Oswald Emmanuel Smith but are known as 'Bert' say so. If your name is Albert but you are called Bert, say so on the CV.

I am happy with your response.
