    They always ask why I left, and I freeze. There are 15 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I do not want to blame the company. Do you mention numbers?

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

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