Accidentally sent corrupt file in application

Hi there,

don't worry too much. Just send the correct file to the recruiting team and be proactive about it. 

Should not be a problem.

Hi there,

Q: I just realized that one of the pages on my transcripts (out of 4 pages, the other pages are visible) is corrupt when I open it. Will this put me out of the running?

As mentioned by Ian, I would recommend to reach out to HR to explain the issue and send the correct file.

Good luck!

Hi there, 

No, it shouldn't. 

Do however proactively reach out to them so they replace the file with the correct one. 

These things happen. Nobody is going to punish you for it. 

Best,

Hi there,

Please reach out to them immediatedly to amend the file. Flag that it worked when you saved it, but have realized it was corrupted in the upload process.

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

• While it certainly is not a sign of diligence to send a corrupted file, I feel you are overestimating the malignancy of recruiting teams in strategy consulting. Chances are very low that this will actually have any effect on your application as long as you fix it.
• As such, I would highly advise you to reach out to the recruiting team, send the new file (please double-check this time), and explain the situation.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

should not be a problem, don't worry. Think about it - HR teams are not hired to reject candidates, but to hire the best candidates. They'll not reject you for small formalities - that's a a myth.

Suggest you reach out to HR, explain the issue and attach corrected version. That should suffice.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Andi

You should just reach out to them, explain what you noticed and ask how you can best provide them with the correct file.

Good luck
