As someone who has worked in various jobs and roles, from the private sector to the public sector to nonprofit….  I personally agree with Dave.  If it’s relevant to the job you’re seeking, leave it in.  If it’s not, leave it out.

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
