I sent the wrong resume?

Question

I sent a resume to Google but I forgot to change the company name from my previous application in the objective. I want to send the correct resume but I have no idea where to send it ? The email confirmation I got for the application was from a "no-reply" email. Does anyone know what the HR email is ? Have I blown my chance ?

How did you send it the first time? The first part of your post starts with "I sent a resume to Google" which would imply you did send one once. — JB King, Jan 11 '16 at 19:33
I filled out a regular online application on their website specifically for the position. It had a "upload resume" button to which I uploaded the wrong resume. — oneCoderToRuleThemAll, Jan 11 '16 at 19:35
Does that have a profile where you could update the resume? If not, could you consider re-applying and putting a note somewhere that you had submitted the wrong resume? — JB King, Jan 11 '16 at 19:39
They have a profile but no place to update resume. There is a wait time of 90 days to apply again for the same position.... — oneCoderToRuleThemAll, Jan 11 '16 at 19:43
Then you wait 3 months and try again. There is an entire branch of Google that sells HR Services that you could contact: https://www.google.ca/work/hr.html — JB King, Jan 11 '16 at 19:50
Never include an Objective(s) section in your resume. Your resume is an overview of your skills and experience and you "sell yourself" in the cover letter. — Lilienthal, Jan 11 '16 at 20:21

So you blew it. No big deal.

Take this as a lesson-learned. For better results, your resume should be tailored to the specific company you're targeting, which means a different resume for every company.

About 'Objectives'

What would be a 3-year objective? Consider putting that in your objectives section, instead of something like "My objective is to get a job with Acme, Inc. My other objective is to get paid every payday."

Agreed. If you are including an objective (which not everyone says you should), it shouldn't include the name of the company to which you are applying. Cover letters are a different story though and should certainly be directed at each company. – David K Jan 11 '16 at 19:41

There's also a non-zero chance that no one will even notice.. – enderland Jan 11 '16 at 20:27
