Hi,
I have lost my experience letters from my first two companies due to a robbery during transportation. These two companies have since closed, and I had three years of experience working for them. In total, I have ten years of experience, including the three years from those companies.
I have a few queries regarding this situation:
1) I am currently seeking a new job and would like to know if my experience will be considered as ten years or seven years, considering I do not have the original certificates from the first two companies.
2) Will a xerox copy of the experience letters from the first two companies be acceptable?
3) During my time in the UK, I had all the necessary documents. However, as I have now lost the experience certificates from the first two companies, if I were to go on-site in the future, would it be problematic if I were to explain that I lost those certificates and as a result, I am presenting seven years of experience instead of ten years?
Please advise me on these matters.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Amol,
I quite didn't understand your second point. Can you please reframe your question about Xerox of what? Is that the experience letters or something else?
Well, if there are copies of experience letter filed safely with you, I think your purpose of worrying can be dismissed. You can put your 3 years of experience and also refer to the subject of robbery in case of original copies demanded by any employer.
