Sometimes I do really well and sometimes I get super massive blocks. I’ve been told many times they could not hire me because I lacked social fluency and skills. When I didn’t stutter, or at least that much, I would get hired and they would say I was perfect for the job. You will stutter, just let them know before hand and try to keep your head up! You will do fine and if not there are always other opportunities. But PLEASE! You should record all of your interviews and document anything they say that is discriminatory towards your stuttering. I really wish I had done this, in the past all those times they were actively discriminating against me. I am fed up now with all the issues I deal with at work and the instances of bullying. We are protected by the ADA as a disability and there are serious consequences when they are blatantly discriminatory toward us.
