Show B8 bu/ine// MONDAY*SEPTEMBER 26• 200$ Leadership conference Pete Walters Business Editor Courtesy Photo/N CAA.com LaVell Edwards Courtesy Photo/utcourts.gov Christine Durham Courtesy Photo/Moren Ord Maren Ord UVSC's sixth annual Leadership Conference, presented by the UVSC Center for the Advancement of Leadership, will be held at the McKay Events Center, Tuesday October 4, from 8:45am to 1:00pm. Since 1999, the event has brought thousands of high school and college students together under one roof with some of the best names in leadership. This year's keynote speakers include LaVell Edwards, former BYU head football coach, and Christine Durham, Chief Justice of Utah's Supreme Court. Coach Edwards was named BYU's head football coach in 1973. His aggressive passing offense produced four Ail-American quarterbacks (Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon, Steve Young and Ty Detmer) and one Heisman Trophy winner (Detmer, 1990). In 1984, Edwards was voted Coach of the Year by both the Coaches' Association and Football Writers' Association. Edwards retired in 2000 with an overall 258-101-3 record (.722), which ranks sixth in all-time victories. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on August 13,2005. Justice Durham has served on the Utah Supreme court since 1982 and has served as Chief Justice since her appointment to the position in 2002. A graduate of Wellesley College and Duke University, Justice Durham also sits on the Council of the American Law Institute, is a Fellow of the American Bar Association and was a founder of the Leadership Institute in Judicial Education. She has been an adjunct professor at the University of Utah College of Law and serves on the Utah Constitutional Revision Committee. Entertainment will be provided by "rockinfluenced pop" singer/songwriter, Maren Ord. At age 17, Ord's debut album, "Waiting," received national acclaim when it was nominated for a Juno award (the Canadian music industry's Grammy equivalent). Ord has subsequently toured with Lilith Fair and produced a second album with legendary producer/songwriter Randy Bachman of The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. The new album, "Not Today," is described as a step forward in terms of writing and performance. A score of supporting speakers with topics and backgrounds ranging from Hollywood to professional sports to the Seven Habits, will also be present at the event. In October, 2002, the Leadership Center was commended before the United States Senate by Senator Orrin Hatch as "an excellent example of innovation in education," citing "significant demand" for leadership programs. Currently, UVSC students may obtain either a Certificate in Leadership or seek a Leadership emphasis as part of an Integrated Studies bachelor degree. Leadership courses include Macroeconomics, Principles of Management, the Leadership Process and Organizational Behavior.

Career builder 1O1 From CAREER-66 I send my resume as an HTML file. That's right. An internet file. I have designed it to look just like a piece of paper, complete with one inch margins. It looks pretty nice. Everybody can view it, print it, whatever. And I know it's not going to get lost in transmission in cyber limbo. Font It's probably not a good idea to show off your creativity with some exotic cursive script. Sure, it'll make your resume stand out. But not in a good way. Furthermore, if you try to line up your text and formatting with some random, funky font, chances are the person viewing your resume might not have that font in their word processing program, and so not only does the font show up missing, but the whole thing is poorly aligned. Take care. Four common fonts that are safe on the eyes are Times, Axial, Verdana and Palatino Linotype. Complete sentences Should you use them, or shouldn't you? What I find works best for me is to list each of the main points successively in sentence order. I don't bullet them. I don't go on and on about them with excessive adjectives (in fact, Business Desk (801) 863-7009 adjectives and adverbs, as a rule, are frowned upon in the aesthetics of streamlining). Say what needs to be said and then I say no more. Leave that for the interview. This generates intrigue. The people who call me for interviews almost always say, "So you've written and directed plays? That's quite an accomplishment. Tell me more about that." The idea is to present all of your information as an organized, creative collage that is all about you. And remember, you want to send that message as clearly, easily and efficiently as possible. Consistency Should you put periods after all your sentences? That's fine. Just be consistent. Be consistent in your formatting and your text decoration. Just make sure there's a method to your madness and you'll be okay. There is so much more to cover and so little time. But that should be enough info to improve whatever you've got now, unless you're satisfied with what you've got, and that's fine.
