Well that’s was embarrassing

Well here's mine...The halls internet is really slow and anyone who has windows 8.1 knows CONSTANT UPDATES. At university a single update can take two hours. Now last night it was stuck on 1 out of 3 updates. Guess what I thought the update was stuck and turned off my laptop. In the past my laptop has been fine no but not this time when I logged on my desktop was completely black.

I tried to update again and restart but I logged on again and when to restart pressed shift and chose windows troublshooting guess what came up delete files or delete files and recongfig. I corrupted the drive. I chose the second option which will take longer. Now my Toshiba 1tb will take 28 hours to format. Most of my data is backed up and I will use recuva to get any files back.

Guess who has been applying to internships etc. Attatchingg my cv. You know the one is had checked etc and had made sure I’d saved as a professional name.
Then I happened to look at my references. I’d added them in a rush. And what it says it (actual teachers name) followed by “email address, school name, add phone number” and I did essentially the same for my director of studies. Guess I won’t be getting any calls from those companies...

No point to this thread just wanted to share my stupidity and maybe save someone else!

Could have been worse and I expect they get it all the time.
They dont get to references till much later so its likely you will have been considered.

That’s what I though regarding references, but I was told I had to add them to my cv. I thought it was more normal to do available on request.
Yeh not a big mistake but still embarrassing I felt so professional for a moment!

It is imo, but its up to the employer and if they insist on references beforehand they can. I thought your mistake was going to be much worse. Its done now, just learn from it.
