Hey all!
I applied for a position at McKinsey this morning but got OCD this afternoon and tweeked some of the verbage. Is it a bad idea to withdraw and reupload with my new resume?
Thank you!

Hi Anonymous,
Without specific examples it's impossible to give specific advice - maybe you can share a few of them?
And: Do you have a referral or direct application w/o referral?
If it's mainly cosmetical, it won't make a big difference and I'd leave it as it is. Otherwise, withdraw and re-upload, especially if you don't have a referral.
Hope this helps - if so, please be so kind and give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Hi there,
it depends on what you want to change. I would resend it just if you believe it is a major point that can make a difference between a rejection and an invitation (eg a major typo).

If the tweaks were not grammatical mistakes or mistakes overall you are probably better off leaving it as is.
I would avoid doing so unless its a big error. Verbage would not warrant doing this and would only look weird.

Hi there,
I wouldn't say it is a bad idea because most likely no one even looked at it yet :) - it's fine I suppose. There is no "re-upload police" out there.
However, the application process is long and you will be doing a lot of missteps which you can't afford to keep thinking/re-thinking about ...maybe refraining from re-uploading if it is a smaller change would actually help you get used to the process and focusing forward rather than backwards :)
I hope this helps

Quite difficult to say like that. Can you tell us more about the type of error you left please?
Hello!
I would honestly ask HR directly from the specific office.
Cheers,

Hi,
I think in your case reuploading is a good idea, no risks.
Best,
Anton
If it's just a word here or there I would leave it!
Could you specify what exactly you changed?
Hi there,
You can reupload it only if it changes significantly or you made a strong mistake.
Do you need any further help?
All the best,
GB
You should be fine to reupload. Although if this is on the order of magnitude of a missing full stop, I wouldn't suggest doing so
