Recruiter reached out to me regarding senior consultant position. I realized there is a typo in the title of my job. I know this is an automatic dq. Can I tactfully correct during phone screen?

*typo on my resume. Recruiter reached out for a phone screen. If I can’t correct the typo I will just not respond as I know someone will eventually see it and don’t want to waste their or my time, but am very interested in and qualified for the role.

What kind of typo are we talking about here??

Yeah not a big deal if she’s seen the screen. Something tells me OP is one of those uptight about a non-critical issue like this

This is really a deal breaker? Sure it's not ideal but refusing to interview someone because of a typo seems... extreme. Just tell the truth. Not sure what the question is here.

Thanks, honestly I imagined a scenario in which I go to an in person interview, someone notices and then abruptly ends it. I’ve been told a typo on a resume is a mortal sin, therefore didn’t wanna go through the process if I couldn’t correct this first. Sounds like the consensus is just to correct it. Appreciate the reality check.
