[QUOTE="pbyrne, post: 83604, member: 9824"] Hi all, hope you're well. I have an interview coming up, and while reviewing my application form as part of my prep, I realised I've made a stupid mistake in that in one of my work experience sections, I've accidentally put information from one job under the heading of another (so I've replicated paralegal work for one firm twice, but not put in my freelance work except under the title of 'freelancer'.) I've nailed my work experience descriptions so I tend to copy and paste, and was doing this in a hurry as I work full time so haven't had loads of time for this year's applications. I'm assuming someone will have spotted this, but it wasn't brought up on my first round interview. My freelance experience is something I would want to talk about in my interview, but it's pretty mortifying to have to point out that I haven't actually described it - particularly as my freelance work is editing/proofreading 🤦♀️ Is there a way I can acknowledge the error and talk about my freelance experience without them thinking I'm a complete idiot/ruining my chances of the TC?
