Looks OK to me. Why quibble over a comma versus a dash?

How do they list UC Irvine or UTEP on a resume?

TaiJuan

5/29/19 10:43am

Yep. Seems dishonest. But also, this was sort of the point of the name

Jay Rick

5/29/19 10:44am

You should still list the actual name of the university you went to, rather than

garyfan

5/29/19 10:45am

uh, that is exactly what they did. they went to brigham young university in

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 10:46am

Are you aware of the name of the university located in Rexburg?

garyfan

5/29/19 10:47am

yes.

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 10:48am

What do you believe it to be?

garyfan

5/29/19 10:49am

it's not about what i believe it to be, it's about what it is.

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 10:50am

Right, and Rexburg is nowhere in the name.

garyfan

5/29/19 10:52am

garyfan, based on that resume, do you know exactly where he went to school?

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 10:53am

Do I? Yes, because I'm a BYU alum. Would others in my field who aren't as

garyfan

5/29/19 10:55am

Sounds like he is smart do write it this way then.

fulano

5/29/19 10:56am

if he's trying to be deceptive or "dishonest" he seriously sucks at it. like,

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 10:56am

Not really. But even if he does suck at it, it’s relevant info for a recruiter

chilango

5/29/19 11:12am

100%. It’s name is not BYU. It’s name is BYU-Idaho.

Jay Rick

What is the name of the Church-owned university located in Rexburg?

Faceman

5/29/19 11:06am

It is Brigham Young University-Idaho. so he used a comma instead of a dash.

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 10:49am

Um, he left out a whole word. “Idaho” is part of the name.

Joe Banks

5/29/19 10:51am

yes, and he said he went to the one in idaho. again, if he were trying to

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 10:52am

He's trying to create plausible deniability.

garyfan

5/29/19 10:54am

He didn’t go to “the one in Idaho.” There isn’t “one” in Utah and one in

Jay Rick

5/29/19 10:54am

yes, all with the name Brigham Young University. bottom line is, based

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 10:58am

We know, because we’re familiar with these schools. No one else knows.

Jay Rick

5/29/19 10:59am

if they aren't familiar, that is their problem - not his.

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 11:00am

Uh, actually, he’s the one writing the resume. And he’s using the fact that

The Dark Knight

5/29/19 11:59am

Yes. A point he doesn't want to concede.

garyfan

5/29/19 11:00am

Nope, most people east of the Rockies won't know the difference

The Dark Knight

5/29/19 11:55am

Nice try. If he simply used incorrect punctuation, he would have instead been

garyfan

5/29/19 10:51am

no, he didn't just use a comma

I'm fine with people going to BYU-Idaho. But BYU-I people need to stop lying.

TheWanderer

5/29/19 8:42pm

That's why I always do Brigham Young University-Idaho, Rexburg, Idaho.

TN_Coug

5/29/19 10:44am

what is the misleading part?

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 10:45am

BYU and BYU-I are separate universities

Littlerich

5/29/19 10:49am

yeah, and he clarified that on his resume.

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 10:51am

no, he didn't

Littlerich

5/29/19 10:52am

No, he named the university "Brigham Young University", not "Brigham Young University - Idaho"

Ragnar Danneskjold

5/29/19 10:55am

ragnar, based on that resume, where would you say he went to school?

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 10:58am

Hey, let's ask more BYU alums the same stupid question, continually ignoring

garyfan

5/29/19 11:05am

if i name any given university, about the same size/prestige as BYU, could you

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 11:09am

But do people know that the campus in Rexburg is actually a different university

garyfan

5/29/19 11:12am

i understand your point, i don't see it as a big deal. the reader knows

smokymountainrain

5/29/19 11:15am

*THIS* reader knows where he went to school. Many readers will not.

garyfan

5/29/19 11:17am

everybody who is hiring college graduates knows BYU is in Utah.

smokymountainrain

It's almost like you're ignoring the points I'm making.
