Job Interview Questions: How Do I Introduce A Nickname During A Job Interview?

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.....

• As they greet you and shake hands you say, "John Smith, but I go by Jimmy."
  
  Or, "Joh smith, but I prefer to be called Jimmy."
  
  Or whatever your names are in this case.


• 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.


• Hi I'm Beverly but I go by Bev.... I've said that a million times!
