Made a stupid mistake on my CV.

[nelliesmum]

Its my 64th job application and my DH pointed out that the dates are wrong on both this one and the 63rd. I've lost two years, do I phone them and point it out, hope that they won't notice or hope that they might interview me anyway and just ask about it. SO BL**DY depressed with this whole business...

It's probably not the end of the world that you have what could be a typing error in your CV, depending on what jobs you are going for.

But, if I were on my 64th job application, I would want to know that the CV that I am submitting is absolutely the best reflection of me that it can be.

It sounds like your DH has looked over it. Can you get someone else - more objective - to have a look? If now, you could ask at the local job centre or even library if there is someone available to have a look for you.

It must be really soul-destroying and I wish you the very best.

I am rewriting it every time, that's why it develops mistakes I guess...also why I now loathe the sight of it. It has been passed by the Job Center (I went on a course).I am going for a fairly high calibre job so I really need it to be right. I have had interviews for lesser positions where I'm told I'm over qualified, but I have two year gap which the executive types don't like (me being a Mummy and all).
Thanks for your best wishes, i will keep slogging away. I am very glad that I have my DH to support me while this is going on. I can't imagine what its like to be like this and relying on benefits!
