Sorry clogging, but a friend of mine is stressing out, and I need some reassurance as proof that he should not be. Basically, he got a summer BB and is very excited. Yet, he noticed a couple days ago that his resume has a small mistake. Under the dates for a certain activity, or place he worked, he wrote the wrong date. For example, instead of working there, or participating in, 1998 it was 1999. Everything else, including time spent and what he did is the same. He contacted the company but has not heard back...an honest mistake, what do you think?

Careless error, I doubt
Careless error, I doubt anyone would really care that much. Seriously, would you fire someone for putting down the wrong date for an internship?
Probably not a big deal
Shouldn't be a big deal. There is no ethical lapse and therefore probably no need for disciplinary action. Probably depends on the significance of the activity and the time-significance of the activity (example: doing a BB IBD internship sophomore year can look more impressive than during freshman year because a sophomore will most likely participate in the 'full' summer analyst program whereas a freshman MAY be be in a less rigorous program).
