Interesting interview. Would have liked for her to touch on a couple of points:

1. Cover letters. Would really like to hear her thoughts on what to include, and how to adapt them for different job postings.
2. It's silly to assume that the only possible reason for gaps in employment to be due to an external issue (you had to do something outside of work). What about ppl who've been laid off? Many time (especially as you get older), it takes longer and longer to find another role.

Honestly this was great wish she would have went over cover letters.
