#anyway i'm so annoyed because i spent AGES on that application! and i did fact-check and everything. but amazon's pushy misleading

oh noooo i just realised i made a really big mistake on the job application i sent off this morning!!

#it was for a publishing job and i wrote in the cover letter that i really loved this series that i thought was published by them #only i just realised that it isn't!! #the thing is i literally googled it before i wrote the application to try to fact check it. and when i typed the book series into amazon #this big banner for the publishers i was applying to came up on the search page and the layout basically made it look like it was their #series and their amazon page selling the books #only i just looked again and it was a very pushy sponsored advert for the publishers that amazon for some reason put to the top of the #search results in this really misleading way to make it LOOK like it was their series #anyway i'm so annoyed because i spent AGES on that application! and i did fact-check and everything. but amazon's pushy misleading #advertising layout has probably cost me the job now :( #it's such a mortifying mistake to have made as well. like it's the sort of thing they'll mention in cautionary tales for OTHER #people applying for jobs with them!
