[Jobs] need help with writing cover letters for resumes

[Peter Altschul]

Hi, Cheryl:

IMHO, there is no reason to mention your blindness or gide dog in your cover
letter or resume unless it is clearly to your advantage to do so.

Good luck,



Peter Altschul

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.
