Don't be so hard on yourself. I once uploaded to an automated company recruitment system, the wrong covering letter to a job. I did get an interview (luckily they read/liked my cv and had a laugh at the wrong covering letter) and got offered the job. I was mortified when they told me what I had done!

It happens to us all at the best of times and shows we're only human. I once had some doubts about a file I had uploaded with a job application as I thought it odd that I didn't get any acknowledgement or receipt.

So I tracked down the recruitment bloke and sent him my CV by e-mail, explaining that I was really keen on the job and was sending my CV 'just in case' my online application didn't get there. As it turns out my application had got trapped in the ether and was showing up at their end as 'incomplete' so they would have simply ignored it.

I got the job too.

Don't worry about the missed attachment, if it happens again just resend as soon as you discover your mistake, without making a fuss about it.
