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

    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a line cook. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I also do not want to seem like a risk.

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

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
