Answer:

Be as honest as you can here. If your company has relocated, say so. If you were downsized, right-sized, or outsourced, just say so. But say so in a positive light. Remember, NEVER, EVER say anything negative about your former employer or former co-workers!! If you were terminated, practice your response carefully. You might respond in the following manner:

☛ "Things at ABC Company did not work out well for me. It was not a good match, and I decided to move on/switch gears/etc.".

☛ "ABC Company was experiencing financial difficulties and, as a result, laid off 20% of its workforce. My position was eliminated."

☛ "ABC is a small company with limited opportunities for advancement. While I have thoroughly enjoyed my work there, I decided it was time to move on in order to advance."
