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 an accountant. I am in Louisville, in case local advice matters. I also do not want to seem like a risk. Do you mention numbers?

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

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
