So, how much of an impact does the name of your resume matter to employers and recruiters?
I know there are a ton of people out there with resume named "Resume" or "NAME's Resume".
What are appropriate and professional to use in these resume title.

For example, how would a senior electrical engineer named John Wright name his resume. Or how would a recent graduate, Victoria Richardson, bachelor of art in graphic design.

For me, I have my degree, name, and version number. Such as EngineeringTechnology DuyLe-v1.1.5.
The only thing I can say is that it's really long, but it understandable who the resume belong to, and the degree/career field related to. The version number is my own thing to let me know, that I am updating it. If I am gaining new skills, new job experience, or editing my resume, it let me know that it is the latest version of my resume.

how much does resume name matter

Unless it's named something really stupid, like "my f@@@ing resume" or something, Zero.

Find bigger things to worry about.

Straight up name and resume. Focus then on a resume tailored to the job and make it stand out to catch their attention within 15 seconds.

Doesn't matter. I rename them with the position number when I save them anyway.

I usually have name and date when I save it, but sometimes when I send it off I strip the date.
