I applied to a job and managed to get an interview. However, I’ve since learned I have a grammatical error in my resume. Is there something I can do to correct this or is this something I should just hope doesn’t get noticed?

Congrats on the interview! Definitely don't call attention to it.

And to help your anxiety, people in most non-law industries are not going to be THAT pedantic about a single grammar error (unlike lawyers). As long as your resume isn't riddled with them, don't worry about it! It's a great sign that you got an interview.

Second the above comment. If it was going to rule you out, it would have already! If you have any in person interviews or follow ups you can stealthily bring or forward a corrected resume and not note the change. Congrats and good luck!

You could send over an “updated resume” and not mention what is changing. Also, if you have an interview in person, bring hard copies and give them to the interview. Just try to get as many copies of the right one out there.

But, I agree with other commentators that you don’t want to draw attention to it.

Great idea! Maybe update some recent experience or something so the correction isn’t the only change. Otherwise someone will feel compelled to play “spot the difference”.
