[NAGDU] guide dogs and employment events

[Jessica Glasebrook]

Hi, all! I'm a brand-new guide dog handler (The clueless nature 
of this question should have given that away!), and I just had a 
quick question about bringing a guide to a hiring event.  I have 
a recruiting mixer tonight for middle-school teaching positions.  
It's going to be very crowded and overwhelming, because it's in 
one of those big, open-plan, co-working spaces.  Anyway, I'm 
conflicted.  It's a lousy environment for guidework, but, at the 
same time, I feel any potential employer needs to know I have a 
guide and see how well-behaved and disciplined he is.  I 
currently work in a school and everyone there is accepting of 
Nigel, but this school would be a new ball game, and I want to 
make sure I'm making a good impression while still being frank 
about my mobility tools.  What should I do? Should I bring Nigel, 
or just use a cane and tell them about Nigel?
