    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as an electrician's helper. I worked as an electrician's helper before this. I do not want to blame the company. Do you mention numbers?

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

    I keep it to two sentences: the company cut my team, and here is what I am proud of and what I am looking for next.
