Urgh.

My brain feels like mush. That'll teach me not to fill out job applications.

How *do* you politely explain that the last company you worked for full-time was asset-stripped and no longer *exists* for references in any meaningful form?

You say in your CV "This company was bought out and asset-stripped."

...by the company I worked for previous to that, to boot.

(Now that's what I call "Fire with extreme prejudice!")

My last company went under too.

I managed to get one of the people I work with to give me a reference and I have a written reference, but basically I spent a while explaining at interviews what happened.
