How do I reflect a merger on my resume? Right now, I have two separate entries on my resume : 2009-present NewFirm, 2007-2009 OldFirm.
OldFirm merged into NewFirm on January 1, 2009. How do I reflect this? My job duties are pretty much the same for both companies and I have worked for the same boss since 2007. My job title is different. I think the entries should remain separate but should I add a note in the OldFirm. description? Like this?
2009-present NewFirm.
2007-2009 OldFirm. (now part of NewFirm)
ETA more detail: I would like to show some continuity in employment so it doesn't look like I changed jobs every couple of years.
Re: Reflecting company merger on resume
I would either combine and put under new company name or if kept seperate then each companies name.
No need to indicate merger on resume.
When my company was acquired, I put something like this:
Position, New Company (formerly Old Company)
I didn't want to have 2 separate entries when my job duties/title didn't change.
This. You can also use FKA (formerly known as) or FDBA (formerly doing business as) if you like.
This happened to me. I just listed it as the new, current name. It's never been an issue or confusing to my employers and I simply mentioned I began work for the old name company for x years before it was acquired by the new name company in the interview when/if they asked for me to discuss my work history.
