Typo on resume --sent

Published

How much damage has been done?

I am guilty of the biggest resume sin... I sent one with a typo on it!!! I put 9/06 as an end date for a job, when I obviously meant 9/05. The recruiter called back, said she had a question about it... im assuming its that.... but we havent been able to contact eachother since then... (snow storm here yesterday, she did not work) .but today I got a message saying the manager wants to set up an interview....should I just forget about it? I CANT BELIEVE I SENT THAT RESUME LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!:sofahider :smackingf :no: :imbar :imbar

on the other hand, should I assume its a non issue, since I was called for an interview?

(would like to add, I was contacted about this position, I did not apply for it initially)

No reason to worry. It's such an obvious error of typing, not lying, that I think everyone can see that. However, I would mention it the interview ... using a little humor and saying something, "I can't believe I did that!"

Good luck,

I agree with the others. A non-issue. Just point it out as an honest mistake.

I'll bet you will never make another resume' typo, will ya?? :chuckle (I know....it's not funny).
