[Menvi-discuss] dealing with blindness in bios and other career information

[Julie McGinnity]

Hi everyone,

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