I worked for a Pennsylvaniia company in California and they refused to pay me for my overtime and travel pay. I won a settlement before the State of California Employment Commission. The company has since gone out of business and the President convicted of EPA violations and export law violations for dealings with Iran. How do I address this period of employment with this company in an interview coming up.

Legally, a previous employer is only allowed to disclose specific information about you. They are not permitted to elaborate. A previous employer can only say if you worked there or not, the duration of time, and if you are eligible for re-hire. So, I would suggest if a prospective employer asks why you are no longer employed there, you can explain the legal issues that caused the company to no longer be in business. Truthfully, the prospective employer is also looking for any non verbal response from you as well, they want to be sure that you are the right caliber of person to work for them--that you are not a "job-hopper".

you can tell them anything...legally the job you were fired from cant tell why you were fired...they can only acknowledge that you were firewd....so you can make up any excuse
but the truth is the best answer...and your issue seems very valid almost anyone can understand that
