I want to become an engineer Hey guys, first post in here. I've had a stutter all my life. Mostly just blocking. I recently graduated with a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering Technology and an Associates in Electrical Engineering Technology. Now I'm looking for a job. I've had multiple interviews but nothing yet. I can't help but think the fact that I stutter and can't explain what I know very well, has some effect on them wanting to hire me or not. I don't do phone interviews very well and a lot of companies I'm applying to, do them. Do you guys have any tips when applying for these types of jobs? Or even leads? :D I've been telling the employers in my interview that I have a stutter, mainly because they just think i'm really nervous(which I am). Any advice would be great! Thanks!
