Take it from a 49 yo stutterer. I had the same group job interview (they call it panel interviews in hospitals) and when I walked in I disclosed my stutter before I greeted the 5 panel members. This was my statement: "My name is.........and I have a stutter. You might see me experience a block or prolong certain letters. I am confident in whom I am and will no doubt be successful in whatever I pursue ". They LOVED my honesty, courage and determination. I was hired the following week. I chose NOT to medicate because of the zombie-esk feeling and I needed to be sharp at the panel interview. They are going to figure out eventually that you have a stutter. Be honest. Be confident. Don't forget to breathe diaphragmatically and just enjoy the conversation. PWS are more resilient, resourceful, courageous and creative. Channel all of your positive energy in that interview. Also, don't forget to smile and acknowledge every member of that panel by their name (they LOVE that!) Good luck and know that YOU GOT THIS !! YOU ARE FRICKIN AWESOME and DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE. (Sidebar: I've been promoted 3x and was acknowledged for my hard work and creativity). GOOD LUCK
