my own father had a weird European name, non British, and it was Anglicanised when he came here . I can kinda understand in his case, the name is barely pronounceable.
and it’s not just English names, there is classism at work here too. Posh English names work best. 😞
Do what you need to do, zero guilt. Corporations don’t have any interest about anyone’s success but their own. It’s a job not a friend. Do the same, and do what you need to do to get yourself employment and income. No one will care what your name is once you in the door and they are happy with your work.
I think the Christian name resume is working… Interesting.
it’s been like that here for as long I remember

There was some other study done way earlier which compared ethnic first and last, western first and ethnic last, and western first and last.
The results are as you can expect…
