I'm a junior software developer, only a couple of years out of college. I had a conversation today with a recruiter from a recruiting agency, and he asked me which version of Angular I use.
I only know AngularJS - Which is Angular 1 - But I got mixed up on the spot and told him that I use Angular2.
A very amateaur mistake, I know... He sent me information about a potential job that he thinks I'm a good fit for, but I can see clearly in the job description that it's only for Angular2.
Should I send him a note explaining the mixup? We had a great conversation and I feel he might be able to help me land the type of job I'm looking for. However, if it'll make me look very bad, then I'll just make up an excuse for why I'm not interested, and chalk it up as a bad try.
In terms of the job that he told me about, I'm not super confident that it's for me, but at this stage of the game I probably would have proceeded anyways.
My main push for telling him about the mistake is that he might have jobs suitable for me which are actually Angular1... But I don't know if it's worth making myself look bad like that.
What should I do in this situation?

I think you should explain your mistake, but that being said angular 1 and angular 2 are completely different frameworks.
I think you should come clean and tell the truth, but I think there is no harm in applying to the job and learning angular 2.
However, take my opinion with a grain of salt as I only know react and vue.
