Hey Guys,

Recently I had updated my resume since I had some new activities and what not. Would it be ok to contact HR for them to use my newest resume for superday?

No, bring it yourself on nice resume paper. Bring lots of copies, give it to your interviewers personally so they can put a face with the name. It's much more classy & memorable when someone has your resume like that instead of the inevitable PDF email or whatever they get from HR

Hey what I mean is that they will use some resume pulled off the website which is outdated. In other words, they will go into the interview room already with my resume, would it be weird to give them another copy?

No, not weird at all. Give them a new copy, it happens all the time.

Besides, you should NEVER assume that they have a copy. I've conducted interviews where I read their resume just prior to going in and I tell them that I don't have one to test their preparedness. If they're prepared, they're in, if they're not, I can still conduct the interview because I lied.
