I’m in my 30s, my experience is that it’s hard to get a job offer, but once in the job I excel. I don’t interview well, at all. Surprise group interviews are the worst. I’ve cried during an interview because I was so frustrated with myself (I got that job though). Getting the job is the hardest part for me. I was laid off a few years ago and it took me 8 months to find a new job. I’ve always had forward facing jobs too, even though it is hard and takes a lot out of me. But once you know what you’re doing I find it’s a lot of repetition and it gets a little easier. It will never be as easy as someone who doesn’t have to worry about what will happen when they try to talk, I found confidence in that you know what to do and repetition helps a lot. Being upfront about stuttering in the interview though, I found helped connect with the person conducting the interview and and gets it out on the table right away. They didn’t look at me like I was an alien if I was struggling (as much, some still looked uncomfortable but tried their best to hide it). I always say in interviews, “this 10-20 min interview does not represent all that I can do. There is so much more to me than just the way I speak sometimes. Stuttering is often misrepresented or stereotyped, especially in movies/tv, please feel free to ask my any questions you may have about this disability that I live with.”
