When someone offers to introduce you to someone in their network, do they ask for your resume as well, or just set up the intro without your resume? Just curious. I hear differing views - some people say your resume is confidential and shouldn’t be shared for networking calls and some say it is a must. Would you ask for someone’s resume to set up an intro call to an MD?

It is personal preference but it always irks me when i receive a resume in an intro email. You can send it a few emails down the line (ie. before you schedule a call - “if helpful, please also see my resume attached. Look forward to catching up…”) but it comes across as rude and transactional in my opinion to lead w that

I understand this sentiment, but I actually disagree. It’s helpful to know up front whether they’re even remotely qualified. Otherwise you risk wasting everyone’s time

Also i realize they’re hitting me up for a job rather than my winning personality. so i’d rather not hear them try to suggest otherwise lol

Really depends how well you know the person and where they are coming from. Resume usually never hurts but sometimes it's not needed if it's a very personal connect. Case by case basis.

If they are going to make an actual referral and consider your for hiring they need your resume. It’s shouldn’t be a confidential document, usually your LinkedIn would have about the same info content

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.
