Looking for novel ideas for requesting interview accommodations to answer interview questions? I am wondering what type of accommodations people have requested and implemented in the past that have made them successful. I have tried requesting additional time and the possibility of looking at the questions beforehand. Neither of these have been quite successful. The additional time is great, but it doesn't solve the 'interviewer problem'. That's the problem we all face - tuning out, uncomfortable faces, and that painful look that indicates they've already made their decision. I've thought about requesting a doctor's note to use a computer to use text-to-speech options or to type out my answers., but I'm curious what everyone has tried? And to clarify, my stutter in interviews is *bad*. I have prolonged blocks in.each.word and awkward facial contortions.
