KWR: Using maiden and married names on resume?

I see a LOT of resumes in my job (pre-hire assessments), and I have seen quite a few with them listed like you mentioned. Otherwise, I have seen: First MI (Maiden) Last. I think either way is pretty self-explanatory. Plus, it makes a lot more sense to have the maiden name on there, even in parenthesis, when email addresses and previous jobs may still be under the maiden name.

I would put First MI (Maiden) Married

I plan on using Staci Maiden Married in professional settings (no parenthesis). You'll just have to put your legal name on your HR paperwork if you wind up getting the job.

OK, thanks guys! I'll change it to First MI (Maiden) Married. I'm not sure I will need to fill out any HR paperwork since right now I'm looking for an internship and it will probably be unpaid, but I'll figure that out once I know where I'll be working. The counselor told me it was a weird format and asked me why I had it on there and I was like, "well, legally I took my husband's name, but every job I've ever had and my email address are still under my maiden name, so I need to have it on there."

Skip the MI and just use First Maiden Married.

What about if you are interested in only going by your new married name? Currently I use Lauren MI Maidenname but I'd like to move to Lauren MI Marriedname. My resume still shows all of my positions and my reference would obviously be aware that I was using my married name. Can I just drop my maiden name all together?

Does anyone use nee any more? Like

Sarah R. Williamson, nee Johnson

I've never seen or heard of that, PK.

PK, I was going to add that.

Sometimes it is: Sarah R. Williamson (nee Johnson)

I seem to recall that "nee" means born, which would be your maiden name.

Yeah, nee is the alternative. . . though, I have a friend who uses "Formerly" instead of "nee" b/c when her parents got divorced during her childhood, she legally changed her last name to her mother's. . . so, she wasn't technically "nee" her maiden name

I have also heard "nee" used!

I don't understand, with the exception of publications, why you need to worry about what name you used at a previous job. If you are given an offer and they do a background check, it asks what other names you go by.

I have wondered this myself. I like the nee idea. I am not going to hyphenate legally, but I am much easier to identify with my unique maiden name than I will be going by just FH's super common surname. Is "nee" a common thing to see on resumes? Or is it an older thing? I just wonder if when I start sending out my resume if "nee" is common knowledge in HR field?

A resume is the most convenient way to present your professional qualities on paper. This is a marketing document in which you are the object of sale! You sell your skills and abilities, your time and your experience to the employer for the amount of monthly compensation that you are tired of. For this reason, by the way, some large employers do not accept CVs from applicants, and instead use their own application form for the position.

The resume must indicate the latest information as of the date of writing. You can include your maiden name in brackets next to your current last name
