Crap. I just fired off a resume for a university assistant sysadmin and noticed the following error on my resume:

"...Multimedia Systems, and Distributed Systems, System Administration."

Is it even worth it to correct the mistake and resend the resume? Or should I just learn from it and do better next time?

Update: Hmm..they called me for an interview a few days after I sent in all my info. Any resident sysadmins have tips for possible interview questions? It's primarily a Linux position, and I've really only used it at home for Samba, DHCP, DNS, firewall, etc. setups. Basically, I know how to break things, and in most cases, fix them.

I hardly noticed the first time reading it.

They're just looking at the keywords/buzzwords, which you have spelled correctly, so don't worry about it. It is not an essay.

Nah, let it go. As long as the rest of the resume is well written it should be ignored.

heh, took me like 4 reads to find it. If the person looking it over reads in his head, you are fine, if he reads and speaks at the same time, than he will notice.

it's obvious you did a check, added something, then didn't do a final check... OOPS.

At this point, don't send them another one.

I put that I had experience with Windows 200 on my resume. I got the job :D
