    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a barista. I have been trying to stay organised about it. 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.

    Practise it out loud with a friend. Mine felt natural after the third try.
