<DIV><FONT size=3>From the sighted world, I would say don't mention it. I
think there are people who would automatically reject you. You need to get
in the door. Even if your work and volunteer experiences (like mine) are
with the blind, that doesn't mean you are blind. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Remember the age thing? It's now illegal to require it
on the application. However, when they ask for education, and you got your
degree in 1971, somehow they do the math. </FONT></DIV>

everyone,<BR><BR>I am currently taking a Career Development for Musicians
class. Our<BR>latest project is to come up with a bio for
ourselves. We will also<BR>be working on resumes and other print
materials that we can display in<BR>a job interview/audition situation.
I am therefore wondering how<BR>those of you who are blind dealt with your
blindness in a bio. I am<BR>not wanting to hide it necessarily because I
feel like it would be<BR>obvious that I am blind to anyone looking at my
resume. But I refuse<BR>to write about it as though it is some adversity
I have overcome<BR>because that's not accurate either. Any suggestions
would be greatly<BR>appreciated. Thanks.<BR><BR><BR>-- <BR>Julie
