When it comes to applying for jobs, people make sure that their cover letters are impressive enough to get employers’ attention.
But one man who wanted to apply for his ‘dream job’ accidentally submitted his STD results instead of his cover letter!
Jacques Paul, 27, took to TikTok and shared how he was left freaked out after discovering the mishap.
“It was horrible at the time but it’s a funny story now,” Jacques from Haringey, London, said.
“I was applying for this job while listening to music, checking the news, I was looking at covid rates, and doing something else on the side – I was multi-tasking.
“I’d just got my PDF (of my STD test results) downloaded and I was all negative thankfully. But then I accidentally attached it to the job application and sent it in.”
He continued: “I thought ‘okay, I’m good. This is a dream job, I’d really like to work here’. It was one of the big four consulting firms, it was (for) digital marketing.
“You get an email confirmation of your application and it said to log in to see the status, which I did. I wanted to make sure everything was okay. Then I saw the PDF of the STD results and freaked out.
“I freaked out and just waited hoping there was a very nice, sensible human on the other side seeing it and knowing it was an honest mistake and they’d reach out for the actual cover letter.
“But that obviously did not happen. Within 72 hours I got a standard message saying they weren’t proceeding with the application. I figured I could follow up and ask for feedback, but I think I knew what it was.”
Jacques’ hilarious video has gained over 1,1 million views and over 101,200 likes.
One person commented: “Haha I would simply need to move to another country.”
Another wrote: “Omg this makes me so much better about starting mine with a typo. Thank you, you’re doing God’s work.”
