Finally done with interviews! After months of searching and feeling rejected, in large part because of my severe stutter, I finally got a salaried position in my field! In the interview, I was upfront about my stutter and, although it was as bad as expected, I got through it. I’m thankful that they recognized my abilities beyond my speech. If you’re on the job hunt, I know it can feel impossible, but something will work out for you- you’ll find the right team with kind, accepting people. As a kid, I thought I’d never be able to get the job I wanted because my stutter was so intense, but here we are. Share a stuttering success you had this week! Happy Friday!
