Content

Listen to a seasoned stutterer who bombed many a job interview. In this new normal of Zoom and Skype calls/meetings/interviews, I always disclose my stutter. It shows strength, courage and resiliency. Your KSAs (knowledge, skills & abilities are going to show on your CV). What hiring managers are looking for is personality and energy. Give them that and you are golden!! Keep moving forward and don't give up!!!! You got this!!!!! (Sidebar: I am 49 yo, background in HR, am now a National Trainer. Started Stuttering at age 5 due to traumatic dog attack. )
