I just submitted a resume for a job on the north slope. I spent about 3 hours refining my resume and cover letter, but at one point I did irrepairable damage to the format and had to close without saving my changes, that was at the point where I had changed the title of the position I was applying for. When I opened it back up I finished making the changes and I gave it a looking over, without looking at the position title section, apparently, and submitted it. So now I have turned in a beautiful resume with the wrong title in the objective line. The work experience is perfect, so is the education, and my cover letter was beautiful... but the fish and wildlife position title... ugghh. I tried going back, maybe I could have submitted it a second time, desperate, I know, but it wouldnt let me.

I am so freaking disappointed in myself! This was a good job, I was totally qualified, and the best part: I would finally make enough to not spend nights lying awake wondering how to pay my bills. I am very attentive to detail, I just dont know how I could have overlooked this! Im so embarrassed! OH MY GOD!

I guess I gave the wrong finger to the wrong man...
