How do I explain a layoff in interviews? (update)

    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a teaching assistant. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I also do not want to seem like a risk. What do you say?

    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.

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