How Can My Friend Prove Her Work Experience After Her Former Company Dissolved?

Dear Seniors,

Greetings of the Day! One of my friends worked for a company for 1.8 years in a generalist profile. She left the organization in October 2013 for her marriage and relocated to a different city. She completed all the formalities while leaving the organization and has all the necessary documents with her. However, her previous organization was dissolved last month in May 2014, rendering all contact information obsolete.

She used to receive her salary in cash, so she possesses salary certificates. How can she prove to potential employers that her experience is genuine, and how can she overcome this issue? Will other companies understand her situation and accept her explanation? She is interested in applying to multinational corporations—can she still pursue a career in an MNC given these circumstances?

Any assistance from friends and seniors would be greatly appreciated.

Waiting for your valuable judgment.

Regards,
Manjiri

As per my knowledge, the documents required to prove one's work experience are as follows:

1. Appointment letter
2. Relieving letter
3. Experience certificate
4. Salary slip/certificate for the last 3 months' salary drawn

If your friend has the above-mentioned documents, I don't think she will have any issue applying for a new job in any company.

Best Regards

Thank you, Jayita. She has been facing problems for 2 months. No company is considering her certificates. She got selected in 2 companies, but at the time of background verification, she was rejected. She had provided all the details at the time of the interview only.

As per the details provided by you, if your friend has all the certificates issued by her last organization, then there should not be a problem for her to prove her employment at the time of the interview.

Regarding the reference check, your friend can provide the contact numbers (mobile numbers) of her reporting boss and/or the cellular number of any of her colleagues. If the details (cellular numbers of her last boss and her colleague) provided by her are valid and authenticated, then I don't think that the hiring company should have any valid reason to reject her application.

I agree with Ankit. Please ask your friend to provide the mobile number of any of her former colleagues or reporting boss when applying to a new company. If the numbers are valid, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Regards
