Congratulations on getting an interview! If by offering an updated
resume, you are correcting factual errors, then the updated resume (1)
prevents potential problems (like later charges of "willful
misrepresentation") and (2) lets you feel better when your head hits
the pillow at night. If you are concerned about the response, tell
them the real deal: you bought/read the standard reference book on
resume writing and then did the required clean-up, based on respect
for the reader. If there are no errors on your previously submitted
document, then there's no need to submit a revised one. All the best
to you at your interview. -Scott Bennett
