How do I list a company on my resume that no longer exists under the name that it had while I was employed?

Question

The office I worked split and 2 drs went and joined with another office and another dr went out on his own. How do I list it properly on my resume to show the office that I orginally worked for. None of my former employees work for the 2 drs that joined with another group

Answer 1

Put down the company name, position and length of employment. You can add a note the company is no longer in business.

Answer 2

List the former employers name and then make a note that the company/office closed, and employment records were sent to ( ) and list the office where they sent the employment records with. One of the doctors must have kept the records of former employees. Call the dr. offices and ask them where they went so you can direct employers to the right name and telephone number of that office.

Answer 3

Yes list the old name of the office you worked for but, list in your references the doctor's name and new phone number. On the reference sheet if it isn't easy to see put the old office name next to the doctor's name.

Answer 4

Like This:

Dr. Jones Medical Office (Formerly: Drs. Halfwit, Dimwit and Jones Family Practice)
Then continue with your normal format of address and contact information.

Answer 5

You still need to list the company name on the resume along with the time frame that you worked there and your duties.

Answer 6

Use the name that existed when you left the company. If you were there when th name changed then you could put Company x (formerly company Y). Don't get overly complicated if it comes up during an interview then you should be able to explain.

Answer 7

You should put the new name first then add formerly and the new name. For example if you worked for a company named Bob's Lumber and the name has changed to Sam's Lumber it should read like this

Sam's Lumber (formerly Bob's Lumber)

Answer 8

I would list each doctor's names. Then maybe in parnenthesis, put the name that the clinic operated under. Good luck on the job hunt!

Answer 9

List it exactly as it was at the time of your employment, it is not your fault they sold or went out of business

Answer 10

Just put it under the original name. If they want more infor for checking - tell them then.
