    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a data-entry clerk. There are 4 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have been practising in the mirror. What do you say?

    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 settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
