Need an advice for IT interview Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice from those who have successfully found a job in IT. My main issue is that I have a stutter, which includes "pausing" and "making strange sounds before words.". Over 20 interviews, and the pattern repeats itself each time. The first interview, typically with HR, tends to go smoothly... but on the following ones I always end up stuttering and making awkward pauses, after which they decide it's better to not mess with me at all. They need a person to talk more than a person to work. Tell me how you managed to break the spell. Thank you.
