Help! Embarrassed self applying for job

Lilyargin · 08/10/2021 22:34

I've just had to send an email with a cover letter and cv for a job I want so much it almost hurts.
I forwarded an email from the hirer to my brother and we both commented on it and now, you've guessed it, I've gone and sent the thread to the hirer.
I'm so embarrassed. Can't recall the email, just going to have to own it Blush
Would it BU to send another email saying 'please ignore first email'?
Mortifying.

Ahh I'm so glad I'm late to this thread, I got to read it from start to finish Grin

Congratulations, that's great news! I accidentally called an interviewer old and I still got the job so these things can obviously be overlooked Blush

Congratulations 🎉

I'm new to this thread and currently job hunting. This has made my slightly shitty day, much happier. I am currently raising my glass to you Wine

Well done Op! Good luck with your interview

hotmeatymilk · 19/10/2021 17:22

Congratulations! I was reading the first part of the thread thinking “Well obviously the correct response is to change your name, move countries and burn down the internet”, but this outcome is much better.

SouthOfFrance · 19/10/2021 17:29

What a lovely thread! Cake

Did they mention the blunder in the interview?

WeeWeeWeeeee · 19/10/2021 17:33

Amazing news! Congratulations!

Lilyargin · 19/10/2021 18:24

Grin @hotmeatymilk

No mention of it in interview @SouthOfFrance! In fact it was quite a difficult interview - only one of the questions I had prepped came up, and one question I floundered a bit with and asked if I could return to it… but then forgot to. I thought I’d mucked it up so was extra delighted when it was offered to me.
