Job interviews are my biggest struggle. How do I manage? So I’ve been without a job for months, I NEED this job. I have the qualifications, I look good on paper. I know I will be a great employee. But my God, when it comes to interviews, I’m a nervous wreck! I stutter through the whole interview. My stutter subsides when I get comfortable, it mainly arises in stressful situations. I wish that the employer could see past the stutter and give me a chance. I beat up on myself so much.. because I know that I am capable. My stutter feels like my biggest barrier, I constantly think how much further in life I would be if I didn’t have it. Does anyone else go through this? How do you cope?
