How do I explain a layoff in interviews? - any advice?

    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as an administrative assistant. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I do not want to blame the company. Do they ask follow-ups?

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

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