Mistakenly filled landing card - applying for naturalisation

Hi,
I received my ILR in 2016 via dependent route and am planning to apply for my naturalisation soon. I am working as a secretary of limited company since 2012 and all the taxes etc are all being paid and up to date.
However I mistakenly filled in my occupation as HouseWife in all the landing cards when entering the UK.
Will this be a problem when applying for naturalisation ? Please advise
Thanks,
Jai

As long as you don't put housewife in application form, shouldn't matter what you put in the landing card (in my opinion)

I have been told all landing cards are scanned and uploaded into Warehouse. We don't know internal HO procedures but if the information is readily available I don't see why they wouldn't cross check it.

I guess in this case it might be a good idea to mention it in the additional notes section, this and possibly the reason for why this was done?
If the person had a legal right to work and paid all taxes there shouldn't be a problem with that, it's a guess more of a problem why he didn't state his true intentions.

"She" made a mistake! This is not a material fact being mistated, as for AN it doesn't matter what or whether you work.

Thanks everyone but I have got different suggestions so I need to decide what to do
@alterhase : Did you mention that for AN , it doesnt matter and that I dont need to worry about it.
Also will be interested to know the consequences if it becomes an issue ( the hope is it wont as I have paid al the taxes upto date)

Can't see how this could be a material matter. For AN you are not required to be employed, you may be unemployed, etc. Therefore a job title you may have used in error on a landing card is not a material fact. You are overthinking this.
