It seems so personal. But otherwise, seems like you were fired. It was large scale lay offs due to the financial instability of the employer.

No. Your cover letter needs to express positive ambition to find a better job, no negativity. NONE. This is all about making a perfect first impression, and even vaguely alluding to the internal problems of a former employer is a big no-no. They are not going to assume you were fired just because you don't tell them you weren't. If they are at all concerned about what happened to your last job they will ask you in an interview. It will benifit you to provide a reference from a former supervisor to support your competance, but don't ever air your personal troubles in a cover letter. It only makes you look like a person who makes excuses. Good Luck in your search

A cover letter should be about positive things regarding you, your work ethic and what you can provide a potential employer. I wouldnt put anything about being layed off in a cover letter or a resume. If they ask you in person provide the information in a positive aspect. Don't speak negativly about previous employers.

No. They do not. That would be unwise to put in a cover letter or a resume/CV.

Best saved for if asked in the interview proccess and choose your words carefully.

you do not ought to do something like this. in many cases, your potential company does not touch your contemporary company till as quickly as they interview you and ask whether this is ok to touch your contemporary company. in the event that they touch your organization after the interview, it may be shop to declare they are waiting to furnish you the job. no one is going to do this style of mindless and meaningless element, jeopardizing your employment for not something.

I was taught to write in the space that says reason for leaving, "will discuss", that way you get to explain it to them in person.
