Hi,

Last week I sent my CV and cover letter to a Multinational Company, I did one spelling mistake. I accidentally wrote, “jog” instead of “job”. However I have received an interview call.

Can I apologize for my mistake and send another Cover letter. What should I do please give me some advice.

Big mistake in my cover letter

I do not know if I would mail or fax it, but save it for the interview [since they have called you for one] and take in a revised copy with you. Maybe when they ask you about stengths/weaknesses, you can mention that you noticed a cover letter error and would like to give them a new one. Or at some point, bring it up tactfully. But they did not seem to mind too much, or they would not have called you for the interview.

Ugh...what an unfortunate mistake Very Happy Just hope the employer didn't observe it and base yourself on the interview performance. No use in apologizing now, maybe he didn't even noticed it.
