This will sound very silly when you read it. Here goes... I am currently looking for a postdoc and the perfect job came up. I match the essential and desirable criteria exactly. So I take days to edit my CV, write my cover letter, get it checked etc. I sit for hours tonight ensuring it is perfect. Done. Submit. Now I have realised that my CV has the incorrect thesis title in it! I have no idea how that even happened, but for some reason it is the old title. It was changed before submission (it wasn't changed drastically, first word is 'understanding' instead of 'optimising' and so on). No other version of my CV has this incorrect title so I now do not know how it even got there. Anyway, the correct title is in my cover letter and online application. I also cannot resubmit the application, even though the deadline isn't for another three days. What do you guys think?

I actually think I might have deliberately added the wrong thesis title into my CV once because I really don't like the real one.

Seriously, it doesn't matter. No one is ever gonna notice.

Good luck with the job!

I think you're fine, it's one word. They probably won't even notice. It's not like it's a complete change of topic!

Take a deep breath and relax. Good luck!

I realised last year that my CV had my incorrect thesis title on it for 5 years! No one noticed and I got two post doc jobs with the wrong title!

Don’t panic! And good luck with the job :)

You should review it several times, mostly of my files are done by myself I didn't need somebody to look before submission. As a result, it was successful.
