[Jobs] need help with writing cover letters for resumes

[Marianne Haas]

Good Evening,
Here is my imput:

It depends on the job you are applying for.  Most of the time, I do not say
anything in the cover letter ablut my visual impairment.  When I get invited
to an interview, I mention briefly that I am blind.

Sometimes, I put in the cover letter something like having overcome a
disability and therefore able to help others.  Are there any jobs for any
guide dog schools in your area?

If you want to talk, you can give me a call or leave your phone number.

It has been awhile since I have sent out cover letters for resumes and this
is the first time doing being blind and having a guide dog. If someone could
give me advice about how to present this in a cover letter for a potential
job that would be great. I hope my brothers and sisters out there would be
so kind to help. thanks.
