[Job-Discussions] braille on my resume...

[Andrews, David B (DEED)]

It depends on what kind of job you are applying for. If you will be paid to use Braille, put it on, if not leave it off in my opinion!

Hi all,
I took two different career development courses in high school and one of the things we did was make a resume and it was suggested that I put braille as one of my skills and since I didn't know any better I did but now I'm questioning whether or not to have it on there since I'm not sure how helpful it'd be in getting a job and besides I'm not sure I want potential employers knowing I'm blind right off the bat as I worry that I might get discriminated against simply because of my blindness (I know that's not supposed to happen but I have a very hard time truly trusting anyone even if they talk about accessibility). So as visually impaired people do you think I should leave or remove it? Thanks and I look forward to reading your thoughts!!
Madison
