Should i put the Corporation that owns/runs my workplace on my Resume?
Alright, I'm just trying to upgrade my Resume a bit and was curious whether it was necessary to put the corporation that owns my workplace. For example, I work for Reno-Depot, a hardware/big-box store chain in Quebec which was recently (4-5 years ago) bought by Rona INC. Do i say i worked at Rona Inc, but at the Reno-Depot branch, or just say Reno-Depot? btw: The sign on the building still says Reno-Depot. and my paycheck is still signed by Reno-Depot. it's just that the chain is owned by Rona

Below is the proper way to say it so that prospective employer exactly would know where you worked in the past. Since so many companies changing hands they are used to seeing it like that and appreciate it more. This way they don't have to raise questions and it is pretty self explanatory. Rona INC (previously known as Reno-Depot) between 2005-2010 (Here you enter whichever the branch you worked at) Followed by the summary of your jobs history there.. Good luck with job hunting RE: my paycheck is still signed by Reno-Depot, is because the actaual date of take over could be sometime in the future, in legal terms they still have to give your paychecks under the previous owner of the company until the "takeover day" comes.

If you were originally employed by Reno-Depot and survived the buy-out to also work for Rona, Inc., yes, it's a good idea to put both names. So say: Your position, time worked there (mm/yy - mm/yy) Rona, Inc. formerly known as Reno-Depot. ...and the bullet points highlighting your major responsibilities Good luck in revamping that resume!!
