I work in college (I also have a mild stutter) and I've already been on the "other side" during selsction interviews numerous times. Having a stutter is ABSOLUTELY nothing that gives you any disadvantage over other candidates. I understand that you might be feeling nervous about having to speak within an interview situation, where you need to "bring out your best". Speech fluency is, however, nothing they are evaluating you on. It's your skills, your motivation. If anything your stutter will be one (of probably many) proofs that you really want to do what you selected - despite the challenges life gives you. If it helps you being more fluent, you can casually mention at the beginning that you stutter. For me it helps if I don't make a too big deal about it, because otherwise I have the feeling I label and define myself as a stutterer. Something along the lines of "Before we start, I wanted to let you know that I stutter. So sometimes it may seem like I am insecure or that I can't find words. In these cases I would just ask you to give me a bit more time due to my stutter. And now I am excited about our interview/ conversation \*smile\*" If you feel too insecure if you could do that you also might email the secretary/ office assistant to let them know the abovementioned. One last anecdote to show you how a lot of people at college think about stuttering: Just recently a student assistant began to work at our department. The first time I saw him he fixed the computer of the colleague I share an office with. He has a VERY severe stutter and was in our office for like half an hour during which time we talked a lot. After he left and the door closed, the only thing my colleague said was "Wow. How nice is that guy?" (he is actually a very nice guy). Stuttering is not ignored, but accepted as natural. His stutter was quite apparent and severe. The first thing my colleague chose to point out still was how nice he is (and she doesn't know that I stutter): he isn't seen as a stutterer, but as a nice person that happens to stutter. Go for it. And be the awesome person you are. With or without stutter - doesn't matter. Edit: oh and yes, as others have pointed out: a stutter may even be an advantage, as we want to see as many diverse perspectives on life as possible. Diversity in experiences and backgrounds promote discussion and discourse about pretty much all topics, because people bring different insights others don't have. That can be uite enlightning. And: you are seen as a strong person overcoming challenges on a daily basis. That doesn't count for nothing.
