HR asking for resume?
A friend of mine (actually a friend not me) is in finance at a F500 but not one of those rotational programs. He's not really looking to get into banking. Anyways, there have been significant layoffs at his firm, and he got a mail from HR asking for his updated resume saying that an employee's updated resume is part of the data HR must have. He's never been asked this before and he's been there a few years.
Does HR usually do this? Why would they want his resume? Determining who's next to go?
If I were him I would start to update my CV and instead of sending to HR I would go to the market...
Really weird situation...
HR at BBs like to keep resume books of their analyst class (some circulate it around the IB internally, others send out to PE/Hedge funds, some do both). There could be openings in other parts of his company and HR wants to hire internally. If they're going to fire you they won't do it based on your resume, they'll do it based on performance.
MDR not sure.... in times of crisis like we are now, your view is quite romantic for me!!!
and where are you seeing "openings in other parts of his company"???
Are you living in this world or somewhere else?? Reading papers, internet, anything???
Why are you so fired up? Is there anything wrong with MDR's comment? By the way, what does anyone risk when you send your resume to HR? If that's a sign of potential layoff, it's better that they give you some signal beforehand than catching you with your pants down.
Agree with MDR that layoffs should be made based on performance not resume. Just seems weird because he's been at the firm a decent number of years but they've never done this. Strange.
Lui, I am indeed living in a dream world at its fucking awesome.

Regards.
