WHAT to do??
Last week I applied for a job and this week noticed a formatting error on my resume. Bullet points in one section were not aligned with previous sections, and there was a major spacing difference in the bulleted lines. It just looks HORRIBLE and unprofessional. Should I send a new resume with an apology recognizing my mistake or let it go?
Hi Marcus, This has happened to all of us in one way or another so try not to stress about it too much. I definitely recommend making the changes and sending it back with a note saying something to the effect "I apologize for the previous resume I sent, I didn't realize until after that it had formatted incorrectly.", or something of that nature. But definitely also a great reminder to make sure you check, and double check your resume before sending it out! Good luck!
Although it won't look as nice as you wanted it to, I don't think it will ruin your chances. Hopefully the company will be primarily focusing on what your experience is and not how the bullet points are spaced. I also agree with Julie to make sure you DOUBLE check (or triple if you're me) your resume before you send it on out. Do a test send to yourself first if you are still in doubt if it looks perfect, and then have someone else review the resume as well. Keep us posted Marcus!
