    Default Resume question

    Trying to get some help from you guys on this one. I worked for a company that got bought out, new name new colors on the stack but everything else was the same, a few years later we got bought again, same story just changed the color of the tug. I have them listed as 3 different companies on my resume but have had hr people tell me it looks bad, like I am jumping companies a lot. So should i combine them into one on my resume with a footnote that i never left any of them, that they kept changing. Or leave them as 3 different ones with no explanation or what? how would some of you address this?

    thanks

    I would do something like that, or put a * by it with a short description saying company xyz was bought out.
