Explaining a layoff without sounding bitter (Denver)

    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a recruiter. I worked as a recruiter before this. I have been practising in the mirror. Do they ask follow-ups?

    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.
