    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a procurement assistant. It has been a long 17 weeks. I have been practising in the mirror. Do they ask follow-ups?

    I keep it to two sentences: the company cut my team, and here is what I am proud of and what I am looking for next.

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