Job Interviews Hello, I graduated college a year and a half ago with a degree in Graphic Design. Not to be conceded or anything, but I was always the best in my classes and my portfolio is very good. I personally believe I am very talented for my age (23). I've applied to over 300 jobs, and have been on roughly 30 interviews by now. Some for large cooperations, and some for smaller local places near me. I cannot make it past the interview stage. I really think it's because of my very noticeable stutter. The purpose of this post isn't for me to vent, but I really can't do this anymore. I am so frustrated. Everyone tells me "you wouldn't want to work for them anyway" but that doesn't help. If every place is discriminatory towards me, then maybe I don't really fit in anywhere. Does anyone have any advice? I feel stuck and hopeless. I need a job.
