    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a recruiter. It has been weighing on me all week. 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.

    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.
