I applied to several New York State positions today and realized after sending them that I had accidentally attached a cover letter from a different position. I think my computer duplicated one of my saved files, and I didn’t catch it before I hit send. EEK, I know. I was so a roll with applying, that even when I clicked it. My MacBook showed me the correct version, but when I had to restart my MacBook because my email was glitching. I was actually sending a different resume, one that I combined with cover letter. 😢

As soon as I realized what happened, I immediately sent a corrected email with the proper attachment. I only had to do this for the applications I submitted today.
For anyone who has worked in state HR or hiring, would something like this automatically hurt my chances, or do they generally just use the corrected version if it’s sent promptly?

I’m hoping the fact that I caught the mistake myself and corrected it right away shows attention to detail rather than carelessness, but I’m curious if anyone has experience with how these situations are typically handled?

How much do hiring managers actually look at undergraduate transcripts for Grade 18 positions? I earned my bachelor’s degree, but I had a few failing grades during a difficult period in college before graduating. In your experience, is the main purpose of the transcript to verify the degree, or are individual grades weighed heavily during hiring?

I’m currently looking into getting rehired with the state. I had previous experience with the Department of Tax and Finance as a temporary Tax Information Aide, the position did not have an end date. I voluntarily left the position after 8 months and pursued a permanent job in the private sector, in which I have stayed at for 7+ years.
From your experience would me leaving this job affect my chances of being rehired?

I’m intellectual, deep, I love long conversations. I love metal music, learning guitar, spending time outdoors. Cycling, camping, hiking. Would love to find a partner to enjoy life with! *Upstate NY*
