That's not true. Lots of people say, "The job ended." And that's the end of it.
Almost every interview I've been to they push for full details about why you are leaving/left your current/most recent job and often ask what you liked least about it.
I believe honesty is the best police, and this person has a chance of finding out the truth.
Not with job searching. Anytime you talk negatively, or reveal a termination, or have a bad reference the HR HM will assume it is the applicant's fault, often not even give them a chance to explain, and discard their app.
All input is appreciated as I need to figure out the best approach to obtaining new employment.
'The company was downsizing, and, unfortunately, I was laid off.'
Based on your post, that is exactly what happened. And it remains true even if you were the only person they let go. It is a straightforward answer. And they will accept it because it happens very often in the current economic climate. Just don't say anything negative about the place or your former coworkers or supervisor.
