I have learned that stuttering has a lot less meaning to others than it does to ourselves. Maybe you will get the job, maybe you won't, but I doubt that stuttering was the determining factor. If it was....you dodged a shitty workplace. I worked in low communication jobs for more than a decade. Once I realized how little other people actually care I was able to pursue my true goals. I know this is anecdotal, but I still stutter and recently finished nursing school and took a position as a RN in the ICU. I promise you that I stuttered during the interview and with patients. I had a patient once tell me that "No one gives a fuck how fluent you are, they only remember how you treated them."
