Having said that, there's no problem with using your middle name on your resume and at interview. If your references/referees use your first name, you may want to explain to your prospective employer that you use your middle name, prior to references being checked. Also, you'll need to put your legal (full) name on employment commencement documents such as tax and superannuation docs. Best of luck.
