Hey! I just launched a stuttering community for professionals who stutter 3 months ago and we already have 150+ members - feel free to join if you're interested as it's completely free ([www.stutterfreely.com](https://www.stutterfreely.com)). The reason why I mention this is because we talk about interviewing quite frequently in our community. At the end of the day, interviews are tough for every person who stutters and every person who doesn't stutter! That being said, they're still important and people who stutter can still succeed in them. I just had 3 myself this week and have 1 more coming up in a few hours for venture capital jobs. Based on what everyone in the community has said, the most important thing for people who stutter to do in interviews is to disclose their stutter. But don't just say you're a person who stutters. Instead, really try to empower yourself by telling the interviewer how this makes you an awesome human being (ie: drives you every day to go harder, gives you unique skillsets such as emotional intelligence, etc.). I've been doing this for every interview the past 2 months and it's completely changed the game for me. Happy to chat more about this, but there's nothing wrong in stuttering during an interview. Your thoughts and content > your fluency! :)
