Today, I sent a cover letter to a potential employer. In the letter, I talked about my great attention to detail, my strong ability to focus, and my stellar writing skills. After hitting send, I reread the letter and noticed that I typed my name "B-R-A-I-N." My name is Brian. FML

Just say it's your nickname or something. If you wrote about how intelligent you are, "Brain" might be appropriate...

Ummm that's why you read your letters before you send it.... you deserved that.

we all make that mistake, but uhmm... thats called proofreading. not an FML. YDI for bragging.

I do that sometimes, but it's your own name. Ironic, seeing as you clearly don't have a brain. Proof-read?

This is why you always always always proof read your resumes and cover letters before sending them. Don't expect a call back from them. lol

I feel your pain! I have an ex named Brian and I always used to mistype his name as Brain, haha.

why would you reread your letter after you send it and not before?

You typed your name in full caps and with dashes? I don't think they would have accepted you anyway. (If you have such great writing skills you should know how to use quotation marks). Regardless if it's not too late try playing it off as a joke.
