Not fully tailored but I definitely throw in some detail specific to each role, just for that personal touch. And for the love of god make sure you change the company name

If you go for interview and you sort of know that the person interviewing you might be curious about something on your negative on your resume like why is there a gap or why were you in XX role for so long?

Do you address it pre-emptively? Or does that show insecurity and you leave the elephant in the room and wait till they ask you?

I guess this is more in the case of networking than interview like do you make your own story?

Is any one faced this? Ideally HR should know expectation and allocation before scheduling intervjew..
