Resume/cover letter question...

[dspring]

I sent a cover letter and resume to a prospective client today... which could mean a big fish if I land it, however, I grabbed the wrong resume and sent it... I just noticed... the one I sent was for another company where I focused more on some things... so basically, the one I sent out did not have a whole set of client skill sets that they were asking for... good thing it was not made out to a specific company or anything.

Do I:

- look like a doofus and send an addendum with an explanation?

- resend the entire thing with the new resume?

- ignore it and bring it up during the interview (if they decide to interview me after reading the wrong resume)

I vote 'doofus'. Everyone makes mistakes.

make the cover sheet say DOH!! in HUGE BLACK LETTERS.

[dspring]

Yeah... I think I will send the addendum only... if I resend the whole thing it looks like a cover up and if I ignore it and cross my fingers I may get passed over...

thanks

Look like a doofus and send an addendum with an explanation. Spin it. Shit happens.

I'm pretty sure every employer is aware that a potential employee with tweak their resume to the job need. Its sort of common practice.

Look like a doofus

Send in the correction. I doubt they will mind. Unless they are turds.
