Same shoes as you but I am looking for tech internships; Heres what I do: I put stuttering as a hobby on my resume and personal website so interviewers know; If you have the personal email of the recruiter you can email him about it (but state that it will not influence your work ethics/passion/etc) Also get someone you trust to mock interview a few times for you; (don't get someone you do not feel fully relaxed talking to, it will make the nervousness worse) Few days before the interview start calling your bank/utility/CVS/walmart for random questions/conversations; it helps as a confidence enhancement for talking to strangers; ​ So far for the few companies I interviewed with they are quite OK with it, and I also didn't stutter as much as I anticipated as I tend to stutter less when I am not trying to hide my stutter; ymmv
