Bored last night so started to have another look at my CV in case I need it any time soon *wishful thinking* and while looking though it realised about 80% of my previous contracts were for companies that technically no longer exist due to renaming, mergers and acquisitions
So that got me wondering, should I update my work history to their current name (or more exactly company that bought them out) or should I leave it at what company was called when I was there?
In some cases that would mean changing from company no one outside a very small sector would have heard of, to one everyone and their mother would know, so huge benefit for me, but would it be viewed as "dishonest" or just keeping everything up to date?
