Explaining a layoff without sounding bitter - any advice?

    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a school bus driver. There are 5 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I do not want to blame the company. 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.
