I have my eye set on my dream job. I applied through the job centre with my CV and then received an email asking me to complete an application form.They wanted this back by Thursday and I sent this back on Tuesday.

I have just had another look over it and I am very disappointed with it. I think it has ruined my chances. I didn't have a person specifiaction.

I just wish I could ammed it and send it again and say upon reviewing my email I attached the wrong one but I guess that isn't an option :(

    Give them a call and ask them to disregard the one you sent first or try to recall the email if sent over that way?

    Then re send over and attach a cover note

    It was sent by email :s I don't know if I have the option to recall emails with Icloud.

    I don't know whether to just email and say I have reviewed my emails and I had attached the wrong one but would this go against me and mess things up even more?

    The date they wanted this by was the 31st.

    Oh its over the closing date. Ah there may be the problem.

    It is was still an open job I would call and I am sure they would accpet a new application.

    I guess you could email but this may not get to be read but good luck.

    Taken the plunge and resent it. I have said the file names were almost identical and I did apologise for the inconvenience it may have caused.

    It has been sent to a named contact and not just a generic email address.

    If you have the name give them a call. It can't hurt

    good luck
