Time and “that happened back when I was young and foolish” has salvaged many an interview. Recent adverse events, even fairly minor ones, at the major level are more problematic. They have no shortage of people to interview that don’t have any recent issues. Recent events ON TOPIF old events are the kiss of death, because they imply you haven’t learned from your past mistakes.
