<p>Hey Guys. I have a question for you. I guess I just have a lot of free time during my oddly-timed vacation to keep posting here.</p>
<p>While applying to my dream company where I was called for an interview, I realized that I made errors on my job application. I had already made a mistake earlier (e-mail address on the technical competency quiz didn’t match resume error). This error was that I ranked certan preferences from HIGH to LOW instead of from LOW to HIGH. I resubmitted my application (it is a DOC file. But I submitted to the recruiter my application 2 days ago, after I was called for interview. I will be interviewing with another employee tomorrow.</p>
<p>Now this sounds really clumsy. Would this mean it would be much harder for me to get this job now, even if I get the interview? Should I have not resubmitted it? I mean, if someone can’t complete a simple form correctly, how can a company believe they are competent to do the job?</p>
<p>I read afterword that while filling out these applications, one must be very slow and careful. But that was after the fact. I have learned a big lesson but still don’t want to lose out on this job. Honestly, I have been a huge fan of the Chairman of this company since Middle School (when I did a research paper on him).</p>
<p>Were you notify about the change of recruiter before realizing the mistake (via what medium)?
Just a student, but i guess it’s alright to give my 0.000000002 cents :)</p>
<p>Let’s rephrase it again. How did you find out your mistake? Who were you suppose to send that document to? The recruiter, or the interviewer?
Is that DOC the original one, or the revised one?</p>
<p>It will depend on the individual recruiter’s reaction, I suppose! If it were me, I would be impressed that you found the mistake and were brave enough to let me know! Do your best at the interview and don’t worry about it!!</p>
<p>So you only made one mistake?
I think what Maine said is true. Concetrate on your interview.
Oh. Go to bed early, and hope you will do well tomorrow. Let’s forget about the problem for now!</p>
<p>PS: Why don’t you make a note for yourself about the things you need to bring with you tomorrow? Why don’t you prepare the right outfit and leave it on the table? </p>
<p>Mention it to the HR rep of the company when you have your interview.</p>
<p>As someone who interviews and hires engineers I know that mistakes happen and that I would rather have someone who can double check themselves. Also, if the questionaire is to be used to determine your fit I would definitly want the right information for this decision. </p>
<p>Just tell the HR rep and stop worrying about it.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. I just had the (phone) interview. Apparently the interviewer didn’t get the updated form but w/e. The main question was interesting. I thought it went OK though it could have been better. Who knows?</p>
Everybody makes mistakes! I’ve made some doozies.</p>
