is there a way to hide your real last name on a resume?

My daughter dates a young Asian man who is the nicest kid I ever met. He swears he is discriminated against. It is hard for milk-toast me to imagine that anyone would not want to hire this very fine young man, but he seems to have a hard time getting hired. Both of them are in college. I don’t know whether it is discrimination or it is just a really tough market right now.

<p>What is his major?</p>

<p>If his major is something very common relative to the number of jobs it specifically qualifies for (e.g. biology), then he is likely being discriminated against in the job market on the basis of his major.</p>
