Found a job offer I am really interested in. I have all the qualifications and experiences they are looking for. I updated my CV with the relevant key word, spent time writing a letter of motivation, got DH to check it then sent it off yesterday.
I had a doubt today that I had spelt the company name wrong so I looked at the letter, I hadn't changed the name of the company from the last letter I wrote! I changed the address and the text in the letter but forgot to change the name at the top.
Have I totally blown it? Will they just throw out the application cause I'm an idiot?

Have I blown it?

@HappiestSleeping I thought as much. I'm guessing contacting them would be counter productive.

I just had a call and I have a zoom interview tomorrow! She only mentioned the CV that was dropped off in person so maybe they haven't seen the letter with the mistake.
It is the best prospect I have had in 6 months of looking!
