Ugh - sent the wrong CL
in 9 to 5
Ugh, I emailed the wrong version of my cover letter to a company - for a job I really wanted. It was my draft version, with some sample text I was using as a reference that includes another (fake?) company name.
My finished copy had corrected info, and I thought was pretty darn good. But now I completely blew my chances. Ugh I could kick myself right now.
Live and learn, I guess. I proofread my final draft to death, but just didn't when I sent the email. Good thing I didn't say how detail-oriented I am

Re: Ugh - sent the wrong CL
Was the email directly to the hiring manager? If so, I would send another and title it: "Correct attachment: katarczyna Cover Letter and Resume." Then, in the email say something like, "My apologies for attaching the incorrect document in my previous email. Attached is the correct cover letter and resume for the position of XXX."
I'm sure this happens all the time! Just get the right one in somehow and you'll be fine. If it makes you feel any better, I was once hired for a job not even realizing my cover letter had the wrong company name in it. My future boss didn't even read far enough to catch it, she just scanned and realized I'd be a good fit.
Thanks for the reassurance - I guess I can't look any more like a looney if I send a revised copy!
I sent it to jobs@xxx.com per their instructions. Not to anyone in particular.
ugh

To be honest, I'd just resend it with no mention of the incorrect version.
They don't look at it that closely, and one of my previous jobs I got after I had already applied and failed.
If you really want this job, don't let this hold you back.
I'm responsible for hiring for my department and had someone actually send the wrong resume. She noticed the error and sent me an email apologizing and included the correct resume. Honestly I hadn't seen the first email yet so the second email got attention first. I probably would have over looked the first email on accident but this actually got her attention right away.
