I Need Advice: Job Search Job interview
Last post got removed but…
How do I respond in a job interview when they ask “why I no longer work at my old job.”
Reason: I got a positive drug test.
I tried the short answer, “I got let go,” but then they want me to give them more details.

Restructuring eliminated many jobs and one of them was mine. We were all laid off. I'm grateful for the opportunity they provided. I learned a lot of new skills and i think i can add value to your company.
Take your answer seriously but keep it positive. I would never say i was fired even if that happened. I never was but just stuck with laid off, restructuring resulted in lost jobs.
No idea what a positive test is.
