These were three tips that really helped me a couple months ago. Practice the interview beforehand or maybe do a mock interview at [westutter.org](https://westutter.org). The second tip is to mention you stutter or tell them you are part of a stuttering group. Let them know they can ask questions about it. This takes away the elephant in the room if you do stutter. They may even ask you questions and get a good connection with you. Three- you can do many things like meditate, breath etc. to calm your nerves but you still may stutter so try to accept that you will stutter and thats okay. Just move forward. ​ I absolutely know the feeling of having interviews that didn't go well because I stuttered and felt really down. I beat myself up a lot. The three tips I just gave you really helped me overcome it.
