Help! Do you disclose your stutter before job interviews? I have a big interview coming up (for what I’d honestly call my dream job), and I’m torn about whether or not to disclose my stutter beforehand. Part of me feels like it might help. If the interviewer knows, I can relax a little instead of worrying about stuttering midway through. But another part of me feels like if I don’t mention it, sometimes my mind “tricks” me into stuttering less. I don’t want my stutter to distract from the fact that I’m more than qualified for the role. I just want them to know I’m capable of doing the job, and that if needed, I might require some accommodations since the job will involve a lot of communication. For those of you who’ve gone through interviews, did you disclose your stutter beforehand? Did it help you, or not really? I’d love to hear what’s worked for you.
