I had to do "it" all over again like 3 times in the last 5 years. Hiring managers are the fuckin rake when it comes to stuttering. I've had to suck it up in the worst moments and walk out when it all goes down hill once the stutter block happens. You can see it in people's faces when they "like you" up until they see and hear the stutter. Then it gets all weird like "well unfortunately...... " Yeah well FUCK you too is what I wished I had said. But no, I stayed polite and walked away with my tail between my legs. It's probably gonna suck mate, just conjure up as much self esteem, self confidence, etc to stay calm and collected. I'm praying for you. Hopefully, I am not too negative. I'm worried for my kids when they get older as they battle with stuttering too.
