HOW TO UNDO ERRORS IN YOUR JOB APPLICATION SENT THROUGH EMAIL

I’m going to review to you the method you can use to delete or how to undo errors in your job application through e mails.

The excitement you get when you come across a job opportunity and you are very certain to meet all requirement for the particular job or in other scenarios the tension you get when applying for a job that has already approached deadline can lead to several errors in application.

Employers might require candidates to submit application through their various recruitment portals otherwise, instructions may be given to submit applications by forwarding an email to their mailing address. However, these two method of application are not free from application errors as candidates are bound to makes several mistakes when filling their details or sending their documents for job consideration if not careful. Errors might also arise as a result of typographies that you are not aware they exist in your application only to discover them after you’ve sent your application.

The application instruction says “Please Apply with a copy of your CV and Cover Letter attached to the email”. Then out of the excitement or tension you mistakenly send out the email without attaching your CV and/or Cover Letter. Ouch! You scream.

Don’t worry; there is a way to undo it if only the application is submitted via email.

A friend of mine once sent an email to a client and wanted to end it with the usual “Regards”. However, since the letters G and T are close on the keyboard, he erroneously typed “Retards”. He lost that client!
