How do I explain a layoff in interviews?

    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a payroll clerk. I am in Detroit, in case local advice matters. I do not want to blame the company.

    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.
