This is when I have to tell you to let it go (I know, I’m sorry!). There may be times when you’ve made a huge error and there’s just no way to fix it-whether because it’s too late, it’s too big of a mistake, or because there’s no one you can follow up with. Of course, this advice is a lot more applicable to little flops. ![]() You could say something along the lines of: I noticed that I may have submitted an error on my writing test, and I wanted to address this… Or, follow up with: So sorry for spelling your name incorrectly in my last email! It was lovely to meet with you … It’s your last chance to make a great impression, so don’t be afraid to bring up any looming concerns. In this case, use your thank you note as a way to put yourself on better terms. Let’s say your typo happened later in the process-in an interview assignment or email you sent after your interview.

However, I just realized in my excitement that I submitted the wrong. Once you find the best point of contact, reach out.

That’s why it’s so important to prove to the hiring manager that you know how to bounce back when they do happen. ![]() It’s also important to remember that mistakes are inevitable both in your job search and when you start working in a role.

Sure, you wished it wasn’t in the exact moment when you needed to look like a put-together professional, but it’s really not the end of the world. We’re not perfect, and sometimes we make mistakes. Here’s how:įirst of all, cut yourself some slack. In fact, there’s a simple way you can recover from your mistake and easily put yourself back in the running. Is all hope lost?
