Screwed Up - How Badly?

Hey Everyone,

Although I have my resume saved as FirstNameLastName_Resume.pdf, I had always saved my cover letters as Company_Cover_Letter.pdf.

How big of a screw-up/ding is this for me? My friend told me that this is a big no-no. I think that the actual content of my cover letter template is quite solid, but for some reason I never really considered the implications of not saving my cover letters as FirstNameLastName_CoverLetter. Any recruiter perspectives would be much appreciated!

Best, Root

Not a big deal, as long as you didn't write profanity or completely screw up in your cover letter. Btter than not having one, idk if they even read them thoroughly
