Facing Job Loss Due to Ex-Employer's Blacklist Status: How Can I Prove My Experience?

Actually, recently I got selected by an MNC in Pune, and they follow a strict background checking policy. According to them, my previous employer was a fake/blacklisted company by Nasscom, but this is not true. I've worked there for more than 2 years, and I have all the required documents, including salary slips, bank statements, etc. I discussed this with my previous employer as well. They have closed their operations now, but they are willing to provide any document required for verification. Now, I don't know how to proceed further. I don't want to lose this opportunity. Please suggest ways to solve this issue.

Well, you can talk to your current employer and explain your situation to them. You can share your unawareness with them. Since you have all the documents, I don't think there should be any problem. Also, since your past employer has closed their operations, you can seek help from your reporting manager as well. You can request your reporting manager (from the past organization) to provide the verification.

Hope this helps...

If the employer closed down, that's none of your fault. If your future prospective employer measures you by such parameters, it's better to lose them. In your forthcoming interviews, when you mention this ex-employer, share that they closed down and provide proof of their operations while you worked with them. Do your bit and avoid chasing the employer, trusting hearsay.

Wish you all the best!

In such a situation, you need to do three things:

1. During the interview, state everything about your ex-company.
2. Keep all the necessary documents: salary slips, work experience letters, etc.
3. Maintain trust with your ex-boss so that he/she can support your statements.

Thank you.
