[NAGDU] guide dogs and employment events

[Cindy Ray]

I really  have always felt that if I was using the dog I would take it
wherever. This is your normal mode of operation now so use the dog. I
suspect you are the only one who knows if you are ready for that, but I
really think, as someone else said, you will be surprised how well it goes.

Hey, 
I'm a special ed services provider and work in many different schools. I
always bring Soleil from the get-go. Everyone so far has been great. 
Good luck!

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?
