    They always ask why I left, and I freeze. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I do not want to blame the company. 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.

    Say it plainly and move on to what you can do. Interviewers usually move on if you do.
