    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a copywriter. I am in Seattle, in case local advice matters. I do not want to blame the company. What do you say?

    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.

    Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
