When your work history includes employment with large companies or conglomerate corporations, the chances are high that you have experienced a merger or acquisition of some sort. Perhaps you have been laid off through a process such as this. Talk to the interviewer about your experience. They want to hear your attitude towards change in a corporate environment. Maintain a positive attitude and avoid speaking negatively about any previous employers.

"I went through a merger in 2010 with Company ABC. The transition during their mass-layoff was not handled as professionally as many would have liked; however, I believe that the leadership team did the best they could. I was lucky enough to stay on board with the company, and my experience during the transition was eye-opening. I learned a lot through the process."

"I am fortunate enough to have had very few disruptive changes in my previous places of employment. That said, I believe that some mergers and acquisitions can be beneficial to the company culture if the transition is completed smoothly and mindfully."
