Did I just shoot myself in the foot?
For one of my summer internships on my resume, I accidentally said "June 2013 - August 2014" instead of "June 2013 - August 2013" for the time I worked at the company. This resume got forwarded to recruiters at a major bulge bracket for my university. Will this kill me? I'm hoping it won't since this resume pass was just for networking and not directly yet applying for the job.
I've actually made some revisions to my education since the resume got forwarded. So I'm thinking about sending a new resume and saying "Here's an updated resume with some changes in my education" while also fixing the dates of the internship. What do you all think?
Who forwarded it on to the banks?
This MD that I knew from high school.
Probably, though I’ve made much worse mistakes on my resume and still gotten interviews at BBs. If anything, I would imagine it just makes you look more impressive. Plus, you can correct it by giving them a corrected resume when you get to interviewing.
Maybe what you could do in the short term is send the MD a corrected resume and alert him to the error.
Poor attention to detail is a big negative for IB
Don't do anything. When there's a chance, give them your "updated resume." If you bring it up to show that it is a typo, that's a huge no-no especially in interviewing stage.
Yeah, this is just for networking, not yet directly applying for the job.
