I’m really sorry to hear about your troubles. I’ve definitely been in your shoes before! Interviews, especially phone interviews, are difficult for everyone. Us who stutter have it even more difficult. I graduated from college a few months ago and can’t tell you how many phone interviews I’ve done. My first one was awful, I blocked up so much and I could tell the recruiter was uncomfortable. I didn’t get the job. Not sure if you do this, but one thing I’ve done that helps immensely is announcing my stutter at the beginning of the interview (whether over the phone or in person) “Before I get started, I just want to let you know I have a slight speech impediment. If anything is choppy or difficult to understand, please feel free to let me know and I’ll be more than happy to repeat myself” For me, this takes the nerves off immensely and also helps the interviewer understand what’s going on. 90% of interviewers who I’ve told have said “thank you for letting me know, I appreciate it”. Let me tell you, it will get easier. You will get better. You will become more fluent during interviews, over the phone, etc. I can’t tell you how many phone interviews it took for me to become “somewhat comfortable” over the phone. Now my new job will require me to be on the phone multiple hours a day, and I’m ready for it. The most important thing is to keep trying. As long as you keep trying, you’re doing great. Keep it up. You got this. And for that recruiter that hung up on you? To hell with them. That’s a poor reflection of them and their company and you should be glad you’re not working with them. If you need any advice or someone to talk to please don’t not hesitate to PM me!
