I have yet to work for one that totally failed. Maybe you were the factor that tipped their chances to survival!

RE: "all of them somehow survived" Very common. A person's resume speaks loudly about the individual (whether they realize it or not). If you've done a lot of hiring, you'll notice the following pattern: - some people tend to only select and work for companies that eventually IPO or are successful companies - some people have worked for a stream of companies that all failed - some people have worked for companies that are so-so People that work for only those companies that have IPO'ed tend to have that particular view on the world, while those that have worked for a stream of companies that have all failed tend to have a more negative view and in fact many of those folks tend to leave the industry (not such a bad thing). Recruiters will often screen out those that continuously work for companies that fail. The fact you have continuously selected companies that survive, speaks highly of your ability to correctly identify those that will not go out of business. More likely than not, you have the ability to sense a particular culture. Enjoy and relax, because you have an innate ability. Regards, Amy J
