    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a forklift operator. It has been a long 5 weeks. I have been practising in the mirror. Do you mention numbers?

    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.
