how it would look if someone like me was in charge of it.

I'm a prat and I'm gonna tell you guys all about it.

Yesterday, being friday, the local papers with job adverts came out. There's two: the Advertiser and the Journal. There was one job I could do in each.

I cheerfully wrote out a covering letter to each of them, one by email and one in an envelope.

This morning, checking my copies, I realised I have sent a letter to the people who had the advert in the Advertiser, referring to their "job advertisment in the Journal".

Oops.

Sorry for TJ.

Don't worry about it
they probably won't read your letter anyway - they usually skip through to the CV because everyone says the same thing in covering letters.
Either that or you'll really confuse them.

well, it's the colourful CV they've got
I have two, boring and pretty. I know this particular company and figured the pretty one would go down better (and be less likely to get lost in their heaps of unidentified paperwork).

So hopefully the wonderful formatting job will attract attention from the stupid fuck-up.
