“I applied for a job on accident. I took one look at the job description and said, ‘There is no way I'd have a chance at that, cool job though’, and moved on,” she explained.

“What I didn't realise, however, was that the site where I came across this listing has a ‘one-click apply’ button that is riiiiight next to the back button, so, I didn't click back - I had clicked apply,” she added.

The woman said she was shocked to find an email in her inbox 45 minutes later from the recruiter, who said they were hella impressed with her resume and wanted to have a telephonic interview.

“Long story kinda shorter, I am now in the second interview round for the job I thought I was wildly unqualified for, and applied for utterly by mistake. I had counted myself out of a great opportunity for literally no reason,” she added.
