Also in real life, although more with "lost" USB sticks, than handing them out as part of a resume (although the effect would be the same).

If people encounter an unlabelled USB stick, they'll often try and plug it into to discern whose it was. So if you put some malware on it, you can infect a network that you might not normally be aware of.
