[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Attorney here.  If you are going to give me an updated resume, which is fine, admit why you are doing it.  If I was interviewing you and had noticed the typo, I would not recommend your hire if you gave me a corrected copy without telling me why.  While having a single typo in your résumé is not a deal breaker for me, showing that you are someone who will try to hide a mistake, instead of taking responsibility for it, is a deal breaker.[/quote]

Another attorney here and I disagree. If she says "minor changes" that is not at all a lie. There's a difference between being professional and shooting yourself in the foot. [/quote]

Another pp here and I agree with this (and all the other pps) who say bring updated copies of your resumes and hand them out at the beginning of the interview.  Often people do that anyway in case some people interviewing don't have a copy of your original one.  My guess is everyone will take your new resume and not ask why.[/quote]
