Explaining a layoff without sounding bitter - 12 months and counting

    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a forklift operator. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I also do not want to seem like a risk. Do they ask follow-ups?

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