How do I explain a layoff in interviews? - what worked for you?

    I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as a graphic designer. I am in Madison, in case local advice matters. I also do not want to seem like a risk.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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