1) Never in my life HAVE I worked in that company.

Thanks for the answer. my other doubt is,
If the 1st one is correct "Never in my life HAVE I worked..."
it means that I must change the position of the verb in that way each time that I have a "Period of time" in a sentence?
I mean in all kind of sentences?.
In this case it is Similar to the german grammar.

The most common form is
I have never worked in that company in my life.
The form
Never in my life have I worked for that company.
greatly emphasizes the idea of 'never in my life'.
I have never worked in that company in my life.
The form
Never in my life have I worked for that company.
greatly emphasizes the idea of 'never in my life'.

thanks again.
I read usually the common form, but I would like to use the other form too. So When I have a period of time like this case "never in my life" or another perido of time to be emphatized , should I move the verb always before the subject?
If you can give me some examples, it'd be great.

How about you try to write some sentences, and I check them?
Note that this structure is really only suitable when you want to be emphatic and/or rhetorical. It's not good in 'normal' situations.

What could be "normal" situation?. . If that rhetorical sentence isnt normal so what is it?
I mean in formal situation ....is it used? or is it part of the informal situation?
The sentences..
1) For more than 30 years Has he lived with his relatives.
2) Usually Have I my tablet with me.
The normal is .. " I have usually my tablet with me"... but is the position of "usually"

The key to the answer is a sentence beginning with a restrictive adverbial phase:

Seldom will you ever find such a perfect diamond.
Only once in his life would
