How do I explain a layoff in interviews? - first time posting

    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 also do not want to seem like a risk. Do you mention numbers?

    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.
