Hey, yeah I have had issues with job interviews. Had an interviewer hang up on me once because he thought the connection was bad when in reality I was blocking. We have good and bad days and honestly I would just keep going until I had an interview where I happened to have a good day and also happened to do good on the technical questions. So I guess the short answer is to just do more interviews? Also, since our stuttering is only severe in stressful situations, this means it's due to anxiety, and in that case medication might help too. Beta blockers seem to help me.
