CTY applicaiton advice

[asterroc]

I'm reposting this request for advice b/c I originally posted it on Friday evening, a bad time apparently, and nobody replied, while I'm pretty sure some of my CTY friends here would have advice for me if they'd seen it. So:

In short, I'm applying for Dean at LAN, SHD, and AMH, and I want advice on who to ask for recommendations, and whether to put union stuff in my resume.

I might email those people in choice A and explain your situation. They might be able to give you hints on what types of letters seemed most useful to them, or better, write you an excellent recommendation.

I'd typically want to ask people from most recent jobs to write recommendations, even if they're somewhat superficial, since it may remind the person reviewing the recommendations of your most recent experiences. The world has changed a lot since undergrad... computers and other things are even more important today than back then, etc.

My two cents.

Choice E is also not bad, if you can get a good recommendation out of it. But if I were reading your resume and recommendations I might wonder why you didn't get anyone from Choice A to recommend you. I'm probably over-thinking it.
