Yes, I recently got hired for a position, and this time, I made sure to inform the interviewer that I have a slight to mild disfluency. I am usually a covert stutterer, but informing them helped me stay calm instead of anxious and nervous about them seeing me stutter or getting blocks. I was able to relax and not constantly be in my head, which allowed me to engage and focus more on the interview and less on my stutter.
