This is why are argue that applicants should NOT give their resumes to letter writers. The writer should be writing what they know about you from personal experience, not repeating what is in your resume.Just a follow-up question, another one of my letter writers showed me her letter after she submitted to the school. There is a small error in the letter pertaining the amount of time I worked in a previous position. She had my resume but must have misread it when writing it. She makes this activity sound much more impressive than it actually was. Is this a problem? Should I mention it? If asked about the discrepancy in interviews, I don't want to seem like I gave her false information, but it's also a very small part of the letter, and I technically wasn't even ever supposed to see it! I don't want to make a big deal out of this and ask her to change it, but I also don't wanna lie about anything!

Leave it be. With any luck, no one will notice or bring it up at interview.
