Interview Tips? Hey everyone, longtime lurker here. For some context, I've stuttered ever since I could speak, and will be graduating college in the spring. Im a Poly sci major and have just landed an interview to intern for a state senator. A large part of the job would be answering phone calls from constituents and explaining legislation to them. Naturally, I'm worried lol. I know I'll be able to survive the job itself, but was wondering if you guys had any advice on how to interview with a stutter in general. Like how have you brought up your stutter? I haven't in the past but definitely feel like I should this time. And if asked about your weaknesses, how have you said you've turned stuttering into a strength? Thanks to anyone who responds with advice/experiences! Hope this is helpful to more than just me.
