Explaining a layoff without sounding bitter - 8 weeks in

    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a security officer. There are 18 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I also do not want to seem like a risk. Do you mention numbers?

    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.

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