    They always ask why I left, and I freeze. It has been weighing on me all week. I also do not want to seem like a risk. Do you mention numbers?

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 5 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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