Use of Ms vs Mrs

Using my name in a resume, and I am using my maiden name hyphenated with my married name, which is proper?

Ms Jennette Davis-Jones, or Mrs Jennete Davis-Jones
  

Top answer

You can use whichever you please, but if your husband is not Mr Davis-Jones, then I imagine he might be upset with 'Mrs'.

— Mister Micawber

I would add that in the US, resumes generally do not include titles unless they are academic/professional.

I would list your name simply as Jennette Davis-Jones.
