To send an apology or not?

[florida-again]

I'm such an idiot. I was just applying for a job and it provided an email address to send applications to.

I was reading the company director's information on the webpage just before I sent off my application and then sent my application off....

I've just realised I put the company directors email address into the 'send' box, instead of the graduate recruitment address! What an idiot!

I'm not desparate for this particular job thankfully.

But I don't know whether to email the company director to apologise for my mistake and to explain, or to just leave it and forget about it....

What would you do?

I would let it go, and in the future I would be more careful about who I'm sending job applications to.

Invite him to your birthday party next year.

Tell me about it! I'm so annoying!

Like the CEO? If it's a big company, his secretary or somebody else probably goes through the email.

I personally would not send an apology email, but would then resend the application to the proper email address.

It will most likely either get forwarded to the right address or get deleted. I'd probably resend it to the right place just to make sure they get a copy - no big deal.

BTW I though you already had a job you were doing that would pay you $100,000. Will this job pay more?

Actually I heard back from them today to say they would definitely be able to accomodate me when I graduate...which is great news.

HOWEVER

I am still considering the graduate job route because it has better and faster prospects of job development and probably job satisfaction too.

At this stage I'm keeping all my options open. I can decide about the secretarial role in June when I actually graduate so meanwhile I'm seeing what other options I have.
