    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a school bus driver. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have been practising in the mirror.

    Practise it out loud with a friend. Mine felt natural after the third try.

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