    They always ask why I left, and I freeze. It has been a long 16 weeks. I do not want to blame the company. Do they ask follow-ups?

    Say it plainly and move on to what you can do. Interviewers usually move on if you do.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
