[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 122631, member: 2672"] Hi [USER=4098]@futuretraineesolicitor[/USER] You can use any experiences whether the company/organisation still exists or not, or whether people have moved on. The reference process will contact the firm rather than the individual in the first instance to verify your work experience entry. If the company no longer exists, the reference people will contact you and see whether someone can still verify the experience (e.g. a colleague who has moved to another firm). In any instance where a reference cannot be obtained (whether through a firm or an individual) they will ask whether you have any proof of the experience. For instance, you may have written documentation confirming the internship; if it was a paid internship, you could show details of the salary you received. Reference checks are highly unlikely to check the work you did during your time at a previous employer. It tends to be that they check your employment dates and job title. They could also ask whether there were any performance or conduct issues, but this tends to be the extent that references provide (mainly because often verifying the work you did is often impossible).

Verification
Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
