I'm an idiot and I can tell you why

Post Reply New Topic

I'm an idiot. I haven't been receiving calls from people I know would call me (like college admissions) and I've gotten emails from prospective employers saying, "We tried to call you but the number wasn't working." I figured out why. I've reversed two of the digits in my phone number and I've been writing my number the wrong way for a while now.

Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid.

Can't tell you how many times I've done something similar - phone numbers, important dates...numbers and I don't get along. I suck at proofreading in general - once got the phone number wrong on a brochure I made for my employer - had to manually correct 500 of them after an irate person phoned to say they were getting our calls.

However, the fact that college admission folks and prospective employers are calling you would belie your statement. Here's some help: http://www.pongoresume.com/blogPosts/31 ... w-one-.cfm

I've made that mistake many times. We all make mistakes. I hope you feel better soon.
