I accidentally sent my résumé with the cover letter addressed to another employer. How serious is this? Sincerely, Sabotaged Self? Dear SS: Put yourself in the recruiter's position: a résumé comes in to the email box of Jane Doe at Hospital X, but the letter is addressed to John Smith at Hospital Y. What might Jane do? • Delete the email as
spam.
• Delete the email as
something not intended for her – especially
if the email has one of the privacy disclaimer
lines that reads something like: "This email, together
with any attachments, is for the exclusive and
confidential use of the addressee …." –
which Jane isn't.
• Question the seriousness
of your interest in her hospital.
• Think, "Hmmm …
SS can't even get the name of our hospital right.
Wonder what SS would do with medication orders?" So it's quite serious. P.S. Check out our article Write an Effective Cover Letter, and be more careful next time.
