Everyone should read Sarah Everard's mother's statement - written with heart-breaking fury and grief. (Particularly those people who still believe that it's not dangerous for a woman to walk alone at night in London. Those tweets suck.)

Agreed. I don’t think it’s going to be a short term change.

You don't need to use a CV template. Most of them aren't any good and the idea that you would have to PAY money for them is ridiculous. Use a simple Word or Pages document. - Name and contact details - Employment History - Education - Interests (if you want) The End.

Too often we miss out because we don't know how to negotiate. If you're an #assistant and you're not sure how to negotiate your salary/hours and benefits then this is for you. Join me on Thursday speaking with the @EAHowTo community. Sign up today.

Companies should be prepared to interview candidates at a time that is suitable for them. You would get much better results if you were available at the weekend. Someone trying to get out of the office for a Zoom interview at the moment is impossible.

What? Why? I always absolutely loved reading this column.
I’m so very grateful to all the readers like you who’ve been so loyal and also trusted me with their deepest difficult dilemmas over two decades. The Observer feel it’s time, after twenty years, for a “professional”to take over in “difficult” times . So sadly that’s all folks!

Hi Ladies 👋🏾 I am super conscious as a man when walking behind lone women at night, often I cross the street to alleviate as much anxiety as possible. What other advice can you offer to me to be a better ally in this situation?!

When I was in an induced coma, night after night nurses watched over me to see that I didn't need emergency attention. In the morning they wrote me a 'letter' which went into a 'Patient Diary' which they gave me when I came round. This is only worth 1%?

One of the things I love about space exploration is the discipline it takes to not try to get to step 1,000 before you've done steps 1-999. The acceptance of the need of experimentation, proof of concept, invention - each element plays an integral role. #CountdownToMars
