    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a line cook. I worked as a line cook before this. I do not want to blame the company.

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

    Say it plainly and move on to what you can do. Interviewers usually move on if you do.
