Explaining a layoff without sounding bitter

    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 Chicago, in case local advice matters. I have been practising in the mirror.

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

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