I have a mild stutter, it’s much worse when I’m anxious which has been happening on job interviews. Once I start to find myself stuttering over a few words, I usually tell the recruiter that I’m really nervous right now and they usually try to make me more comfortable by asking about hobbies I like or slightly shifting the convo. Most recruiters/hiring managers know people get nervous during interviews, whether or not people stutter. Just be yourself and if the job is meant to be yours, you’ll get it!
