When it is a risk management person saying he "wants to explain how it works here", I write it up as a security incident. It was extremely rare for a company to use a resume report for anything. However, there is no description of what to do for any given variation of this report, so... When a team of people sent their resumes to a business, including that of a Managing Director, some discreet calls were made to see if we were losing a whole department.
