RE: Resume citation for ex-companies

["Marguerite Krupp" <mkrupp -at- cisco -dot- com>]

I'm with John on this one. List the names of the companies you worked for
just the way they were when you worked for them. If they changed *while* you
work there, list both, with one in parentheses).

I've worked for so many companies that have either changed names or gone out
of business altogether that I couldn't even begin to keep track, and I think
it wouldn't matter too much to a prospective employer. As long as I can
demonstrate competence, ask the right questions, and appear ready and able
to solve the prospective employer's problems, my resume should get me in the
door. After that, we can discuss the evolution of Corporate America, if that
comes up.

I mean, really, how many of Liz Taylor's husbands or Mickey Rooney's wives
can you name? Same thing, different venue.
