Not recently, actually. However, when I was interviewed for my current job, I made sure to specify in advance that I stutter. That interview went pretty well. I also have anxiety about talking on the phone with people I'm not comfortable with, which gets worse when I try not to stutter—it’s like a snowball effect. I’ve realized that if I accept that I stutter and the person on the other end of the phone acknowledges it too, I tend to speak more smoothly.
