First, the following article is not about typo domains. It’s about a young mans world being destroyed because of a typo and the internet.
Years ago I used to be an executive recruiter. One of the most important things I used to tell everyone was to triple check for typos on the resume and any correspondence with the company that you are interviewing with. Today, I was forwarded an email that is going viral. It seems that a student at Penn, misspelled a word (Resume) in his email to Morgan Stanley. He also did not do a blind cc, so every person that he was sending the email to saw where else this email was going. Here is a an example of working hard all your life and one small but critical error can change it. Hopefully what you will get out of this, is that many circumstances are avoidable. On the other hand, there might be a reality show in this kids future.
Here is a copy of the email. Make sure to scroll down and read ongoing comments. Please note that I just xxx’d out the kids information but it was visible to all that received these emails.:

How long before this makes it to dealbreaker.com. Please note the inclusion not only of PE guys in “Investment Banking” but the level of individual (e.g. Jonathan Grey, who runs all of b’stones RE PE activties…)

Hello,
University of Pennsylvania ’12
Candidate for Bachelor of Arts in Economics and International Relations
XXXXXXXXXXX@gmail.com | 856.xxx.xxx | xxxxxxxx. Philadelphia, PA 19104
Did you intentionally put a typo in the title of this post?
“a typo can ruin you life”
I just typo’d my name lol.. Damn iPad
Not that this post makes any sense whatsoever, but you do realize there is a major typo in your headline, right?
(Hint: It’s “your life” not “you life”.)
A case for those who live in glass houses, isn’t it?
“destroyed do to a typo”
due… I’m sure you did that on purpose for this story, right?
yes, it was done on purpose.
UmHuh, relax and take a deep breath.
BCC is worse than the type. I mean..it’s not that bad. Half of US can’t write wo/ using a PC anyway.
steven,
that one was my mistake. I also I saw it and changed the sentence. Luckily, typos are not important to me as they once were.
All the bst
larry
didn’t xxxx the ‘From’ in the email, we can see who it is.
Maybe its just me but what I don’t find funny here is publishing all the different email addresses of people – this would have been much more funnier if there was a bit more repect for the privacy of those cc’d on the email but then again, maybe that’s just me. I don’t get why anyone would do this.
@ ronald – fixed
Why does everybody fixate on the typo? Dude spelt “resume” as “résumé”. Apparently didn’t appear on BB.
But as anyone who has met my ex-wif will know, a typo can at least *try* to run your life…..
It’s so easy for all of us to make mistakes, but yes, sometimes it is SO important to make sure the details are perfect!
