I work in journalism and have for 5+ years now, at several community newspapers. No one interviewing me for a job has ever brought up my stutter, even when I did phone interviews and stuttered very badly. I got my current job from a phone interview and remember I was having a fair bit of trouble. I've been here for over two years now and have progressively moved up in position/role within the company. When they ask if you have any questions for them during the interview, I have usually mentioned that I stutter but it does not affect my performance at all and do they see that mattering/being a factor? They've always said no. I'm the only one who's really ever cared I stutter. I use the phone every single day, often for several and sometimes dozens of calls, calling strangers and people whose names I can't say, conference calls, everything. I've worked in newsrooms where everyone listens to everyone else on the phone. Lots of awkward moments stuttering your butt off in front of the whole office. Lots of free entertainment for your coworkers! But you get a lot of respect when people see you grinding through an obvious challenge and not letting it stop you. I think it starts to look to bosses like, what are you doing not on the phone while this guy is stuttering his but off and getting his job done? It's definitely a journey. Had lots of days where I was drenched in sweat trying to put off a phone call I had to make, or trying to make a phone call when someone else was on the phone too so it wasn't just me performing in front of the room, etc. Lots of days I came home feeling like I was just in a war. Eventually I got tired of thinking about it and not embarrassed or nervous about it anymore. These days skin blemishes bother me a whole lot more than my stutter. I don't think you're going to come out of the gate perfect, I sure didn't, and of course I'm not now, but you've got to throw yourself into the fire to get anywhere in life.
