So You Submitted Your Walmart App...Uh Oh, Did You Forget That One Tiny Detail?
We've all been there. You hit submit on your sparkling Walmart application, feeling like a retail rockstar. Then, that familiar pitter-patter starts in your stomach. Was it the typo in "excellent customer service skills" (you accidentally typed "extreme couponing skills")? Did you forget to mention your impressive yodeling abilities under "special skills" (perfect for those long checkout lines)?
Fear not, fellow applicant! While you can't exactly edit your application after submitting it (think of it like launching a rocket into resume space), there are ways to address those post-submission jitters.
Channel Your Inner Ninja: The Art of the Follow-Up Email
The follow-up email is your secret weapon. Craft a polite and professional message highlighting your enthusiasm for the position and mentioning any typos or missing information (without going overboard). Here's a template to get you started:

(If there's a typo or missing information): I apologize if there were any typos in my application. For clarification, I meant to write [correct information] instead of [incorrect information].
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Remember, keep it concise and positive.
