I just want to say thank you so much again for your reply and support - it means a lot during this time. So how can we apply that situation to my speech? Meaning me telling them first or having to acknowledge it when it's obvious so why should I draw attention to it? What if I tell the person and they won't believe me or won't believe I can communicate properly? I agree. That is what discourages me. So there's some options that can happen. They can run the interview like normal but won't pick me at the end - me not knowing the true reason. Second, they can do it but cut it short and still not hire me. Third is they don't even want to do anything with me in the beginning and not move forward. Example, yesterday I got a call for a phone interview for a job I was very interested in. I left a message but up til now, no response. Maybe because he was turned off by my speech in the vm? Like, the last phone interview I had - I could tell it was short the person only asked 2 q and said we have other candidates and hung up. That sticks with me and I have had similar experiences.
