I mention my stutter in CV and the most amazing thing happened So, I am looking for new job (now I have job on some project and it ends in January). And I am so fu\*\*\* angry of my stutter, constant anxiety and not being able to speak fluently in job interviews (I have blocks and in the past, interviews were awful). So I though to myself: ooh f\*\* it, I will mention my stutter in CV and if someone would not hire me because of this, than ok. I dont wanna work in that kind of environment. So in CV I presented my stutter as my superpower and guess what - employer responded that he understands me and we can have interview in writing (he will write questions and I will respond in chat). I was like: OMG WHAT IS GOING ON :D I was so happy because now I can focus on WHAT I will tell and NOT HOW. I am so proud of myself because I took that risk of telling about my stutter in CV. I just dont wanna be in the situation of constant stress because of job interviews, I just cant do it anymore. I know I am smart, capable and everyone would love to have me as employee, but stutter destroys everything :( I am depressed, because I see some friends getting jobs of their dreams just because they do well on interviews. Guess what - I would do well too if I could speak fluently. I am getting more and more cynical, I am working hard, I did some courses, I would like to have a pernament job (not only for few months like I had now), I would like to think about having children, getting a place to live ... And this is 10000000x harder when you are a person with stutter. And nobody understands it - all my friends and family are saying I should try harder and never give up.. Yea, lucky for you to say that ... They dont know the struggle ... ​ How do you cope with job searching and with this feeling of incompetence? :(
