Re: Resume citation for ex-companies

["Paul Strasser" <paul -dot- strasser -at- windsor-tech -dot- com>]

It just occurred to me - in my own resume (kept on file at my company for
use in RFPs and the like) I have listed a company for whom I worked in the
80's.  It was purchased by another company, which in turn was purchased by
another company.  It was in insurance, so the original company, and pretty
much everything about it, has ceased to exist in any way.  For anyone who
actually wanted find a record of my employment (and I have no idea where to
even begin looking-- even in what time zone) they'd have a hard time of it.
What do I show them - an old pay stub?

So I went to my HR department (one person) and mentioned this.  She said,
"It doesn't matter.  If someone asks, we'll tell them.  Happens all the
time."

Rather an interesting take on this issue.  Theory vs. practice.  Happens all
the time.

So I ask y'all - has anyone had a bad experience regarding this sort of
issue in their own resume?
