Stop being silly - unless you made the company go into liquidation - it is the truth and a reasonable reason for you being unemployed.
Between wary of anserwing the question makes people wonder if you were fired or left in a tantrum!

I have a similar problem!! i worked in a hospital and a part of the roof fell down and so it was closed!! and the other team i worked for were all made redundant too! and i felt the same as u everyone would think i was bad luck!!
But i have always been honest and always been offered the jobs the reactions i have experienced have been sympathetic thinking that i am really unlucky! or they just find it amusing! if ur really worried tho just put something like 'left due to unforeseen circumstances' or something like that can u still get references from old bosses?
I think u should just be honest tho most will appreciate this, i am presuming u had nothing to do with the liquidation of these places????? so they will understand that u have had bad luck not that u are bad luck!
Please dont hold me responsible if u take this advice and u dont get offered anything tho!!!! its just my experience and i guess it will vary on the type of job u do etc??

In the days since the dot.com bust, this is a common occurrence.
Reasons for leaving a job such as: reduction inf force, laid-off, position eliminated are neutral responses that show you were not let go due to job performance or "personal issues".
Saying personal reasons leads the employer to wonder if you are going to be an HR problem in the future.
Having been in the high tech industry, I have been laid off 4 times in 25 years. Some of the companies are not even around anymore while 2 of them are Fortune 200 companies.
It happens in all industries.
Be honest, especially if your previous employers demise was public news.

Tell them the truth, its not your fault they went into liquidation they are employing you not your previous employer, unless of course you was their accountant then they might look at it differently! So if you are not applying for a job as a company accountant i wouldnt worry. It wont take your new employer two minutes to look the companies up on the net, they will see that they went bust. So dont lie because you could get caught out!

Out of the last 6 companies I worked for all of them are shut and five have since been knocked down.
I wouldn't worry about it.

You could say career progression or limited opportunities but if your potential new employer checks they will find out and that might not look too good for you. Also if you need a previous employer to provide a reference your new employer will need to contact them. I thought you should be honest - you have nothing to be ashamed of, you have just been unlucky!

actual, i did no longer see something incorrect including your nostril, it fits your face purely wonderful. purely be attentive to that nostril jobs can substitute a persons' face dramatically each now and then. And if something, the only explanation why you'll be able to think of you have a bigger nostril than commonly used is as a results of the fact it in basic terms seems that way by using fact your chin is slightly small. yet do no longer upload that as yet another concern.

Say that it's been hard to find permanent employment so you've been doing contracting. All contracts come to an end and you have to move on. This is a perfectly reasonable explanation in this day and age.

The best way is to put "Conflict of Interest that I'm not allowed to discuss at this time" and that usually will satisfy the employer

employers will understand. if you can get personal references from bosses or managers it will help. could be that the type of business you have worked for has been vulnerable to liquidation
