    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as an HR coordinator. I am in St. Louis, in case local advice matters. I also do not want to seem like a risk. Do they ask follow-ups?

    Practise it out loud with a friend. Mine felt natural after the third try.

    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.
