If you're trying to turn your logbooks into a gallery piece with a scripted presentation to explain the last tenth, you maybe overthinking things in the extreme. Show up, having been there and done that, and whomever is interviewing you will know that without ever needing to look at the liebooks. It will be clear from the conversation that follows.

The truth is that at most interviews I've attended, I've offered a stack of logbooks, with no interest in seeing them. If I got the job, it wasn't because I knew someone, nor because I wore a blue suit with a red tie, nor because my logbooks glowed with perfection, nor because I had a litany of canned stories to tell and answers to sell. My pen and ink logs look about like they did when I was in my early teens. My suit is a sport coat and slacks. Herringbone. I've never sought or got a job based on knowing someone, and I don't walk into an interview fresh from rehearsal.

You know how to fly. Hopefully you've been told how to interview. Be honest, be genuine, be present and listen. You already know what you're talking about. Let it show. I'm not going to go back to logbooks and put in the bazillion hours of tedium necessary to parallel them with Godliness. The employer isn't hiring me to fill out logbooks. Be correct, but the notion that it's got to crosscheck every which way from mothers day is far beyond overkill.

As for counsel that the only part of your logbook that must be legal is the part used to record landings, approaches, and time for certificates, ratings, and currency, ah...no. It's a legal document. Log legally. Log accuratley. Don't invent ****. Don't tell employers what they want to hear. Just log, show the log if asked, present your numbers when asked. and focus on more important things like passing tests and evaluations. If your job offer comes down to being the most-squared away logbook in the history of squares, so be it. If you're in the interview, the operator wants to hire you. If it's your imperfect logbook that torpedoes you below the waterline, perhaps you were already riding fairly low in the water. The interview is simple; show up, don't drown.

You could spend all that time before the interview lining out the perfect logbook, or you could focus on other things that will actually be asked and evaluated.
