Would you hesitate to hire someone due to typos on a business plan? My resume is spotless, & I come highly recommended by management and peers for the position. This week has been absolutely exhausting, and long story short, I noticed I misspelled “Houston” as “Huston” on the FIRST PAGE of my business plan.. TWICE!! 😩 I can’t believe I let that happen during such a critical interview. It was spelled correctly everywhere else, but it just looks sloppy. I am worried I am not going to get the job.

Honestly as a human being I want to tell you to take a deep breath and not worry about it. But in reality I know this is the kid of thing people focus on and never let go.

I resemble that remark!

If you resend a corrected version now you run the risk of flat out confusing version control amongst anyone who has started their review. Send a note that you caught a typo and given the importance of the review you’d like to point it out but since it doesn’t affect the numbers to please proceed.

If they are easygoing you could always say, “Huston, we have a problem.” 😂

i think you should get some sleep and let it go. i am exhausted from reading this post. if your plan has any substance at all it doesn’t matter. if your future employer does care, why would you want to work for them?

Who said anything about balance? It’s the work-life bowl, previously known as the Coronavirus work-life bowl. It’s just a place where professionals from different industries (like Advertising, Consulting and Law) come together and talk about work and life. There is no balance. 😂

I can’t imagine it’ll cost you the job. Crack a joke about it the next time you chat with them.

I’m not sure whether I should resend the business plan with the corrections, point out the mistakes, or pretend like they didn’t happen.

How would you handle it if you were a consultant for a client and this happened?

If I was the client and you said that joke, I would of laughed hysterically.

If it was spelled correctly everywhere else, I wouldn’t worry about it. If you spelled it wrong every time and had grammatical errors throughout, I’d be concern. You’re fine!

Unless you have a proofreading team at your disposal. It’s okay.

Tell them you left them there to see if their team caught it… goes both ways

Just say you’re a Philly sports fan!! And couldn’t give respect to the city lol
