Yeah this really isn’t a big deal. Interviewers review you right after the interview. No one is going to go out of their way to change their review simply because of an email typo. That is if they even notice it

Can't unring a bell, but if I can offer any comfort, it's that I know for a fact 90% of emails coming across an attorney's desk get a cursory scan before being deleted, so hope that no one even saw it.

What? Lol ive been practicing for 6 years i dont think ive ever deleted an email

Until this one i tried undoing but instead deleted it to make sure i cant even look at it anymore lol

At least you didn’t misspell “public interest law” as “pubic interest law” on your resume. (The candidate still got the job.)

Be honest, that WHY the candidate got the job!
It was probably done intentionlaly for that very reson. lol

Don’t worry - everybody makes email typos

I don’t think this would be a deciding factor. They likely already made their decision.

I was working at a firm and once found a case that was set to go to trial in 6 days…..and nobody knew about it; including the owners of my firm and opposing counsel lol.

Point is: everyone makes mistakes, and some mistakes are way bigger than others. In the grand scheme of things, this is a non-issue.

I own my own firm now & get applicants a lot; I promise you, a typo on an email might make me think you rushed the email, but if your resume is good, that’s all that’ll matter. You’re totally fine!

Find reason to follow up. Reply all to your original sent email. Correct typo in subject line. Hope that the original gets buried.

My advice would be use this as a learning experience. If I saw a typo in an applicants email it would be an immediate no. Shows lack of attention to detail unfortunately

Yeah, if I was the interviewer, I probably would think the same. That's why I am so upset over it!

It probably won’t matter to them. As long as you nailed the interview, have the qualifications they are looking for. However, it doesn’t make a good first impression. Like someone said previously, it shows lack of attention to detail. Always review emails before sending them out for typos.
