That Dreaded Question…Why Were You Laid Off?

 That Dreaded Question…Why Were You Laid Off?

I know that this is stressful to read but you need to determine how to handle questions from your new co-workers

about your recent layoff.


MY ADVICE - Keep your answer short and simple - no need to elaborate and do not bad mouth your old boss and company. You never know "who knows who".  

·        My position / department was eliminated along with several others.

·        The company is moving in a different direction and my skills did not match the new edict.

·        After 5 years – the realization that I had plateaued and was in need of a new challenge was evident

·        A new management team wanted to start fresh.
