Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
I got news yesterday that my employer, one of the country's major banks, has exercised the TUPE law within my department and outsourced our contracts to an Indian Resource management firm. Our contract terms and conditions, and pay, are guaranteed for 12 months under the law and the agreement but beyond then it becomes anyone's guess. The company's history suggests that we will be used as a learning tool to let them become familiar with Invoice Finance as it's not something they've ever done before and then cheaper workforces will be employed elsewhere.
Time to get my skates on and get out I suspect.

I've got some time so I'm hitting the CV's hard. I've had some interest from RBS and from HSBC so I shall see what I can get.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Which is a variation of the resume...
"All this has happened before --"
"But it doesn't have to happen again. Not if we make up our minds to change. Take a different path. Right here, right now."

Tantamount to the same I really but CV/Curriculum Vitae is our more generally used phrase.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
I believe that, at least in the US, there is a distinction between a resume and a CV. As it has always been explained to me resume's are used to highlight work experience and are used primarily when seeking employment in the private work place. A CV highlights education and academic work and is used more heavily in academia. I haven't touched my resume in a couple years but I update my CV once every six months now that I'm in grad school.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
