Of COURSE I would do something that stupid :(

Just was conversing via email with the woman I met last night who offered to recommend me for the position I applied for. She asked me to send her my resume today so she could send it on, so I did. She then bcc'd me on her rec, and let me know she did so.

And then I got an email asking if I knew the name of the first page of my resume was different than the name on the second. I changed the name on my resume back to my married name, but apparently forgot to change it on the header for the second page.

FML.

Sad

    Aw. I wouldn't worry about it too much! I read a CV this week from someone whose cover letter told me how excited she was to be applying to a university over a thousand miles away :) THAT is a fuckup.

  • I'm so sorry!

     

    Was it from the lady who is recommending you or someone else? Still, I think it is a mistake that anyone could make.

  • It was from the lady who's recommending me. Just sent her an email thanking her (again) for recommending me, and for bringing the mistake to my attention so that I could correct it for future applications.

    Sigh.

  • arborgold, it's not the worst thing in the world. I mean, you didn't misspell anything or have any grammar mistakes, so I think you're probably okay.

    I agree with this. It is an honest mistake, and not a huge one.

    Try not to freak out!

  • Definitely not a huge issue. 

    When I went from temp to permanent at my current job, I had to submit a resume and coverletter. On address part of the coverletter, I so badly mis-spelled the name of the street my company is on that it was an entirely different street name.

     

  • I've sent out letters to clients back in the day when I worked on Public Square.

    I dropped the "L".

    Now that is funny, in hindsight of course.
