    They always ask why I left, and I freeze. It has been weighing on me all week. I do not want to blame the company. Do they ask follow-ups?

    Practise it out loud with a friend. Mine felt natural after the third try.

    If a company has been in the news for layoffs, you can mention that. Often the interviewer already knows.
