BCG Full-time | Forgot to add internships in online application

Hi,

I just submitted my application on the website but then I realized that I didn't add any internship experience. I thought it was asking me to fill in my “full-time work experience” which I don't have as an undergrad. However, I have included all of them in my resume. Am I screwed? Will they pass on me without actually checking my resume because I didn't fill out anything in the job experiences? What should I do? 

 

Thank you so much for your help! Really appreciate it!

Hello,

I agree with Calvin - this is definitely not the end of the world, and it's good that you realized the issue quickly. Send an email to HR and explain the situation, and I'm sure they can help you add your internship experience.

Hi there,

I agree with the other comments. I would:

  • Call HR and explain the issue
  • Follow their recommended steps (edit the application or anyway proceed according to their direction)

Best,

Hi there,

Agreed with the rest - given you've caught this early you should be just fine!

Reach out to HR, flag that you missed adding your experiences. They should let you go in and edit. (Or resubmit)

Hi!

No worries! The CV is what really matters. I would still send an email to HR to tell them about this.

Hi there,

No need to panic here, you are not screwed :) If I were you, I would contact/ call HR to follow up and add your internship experience. You can easily explain about your initial confusion/ misunderstanding . It's totally understandable in my view.

Best of luck with your application process!
