Oh I understand. When I'm at work, if something stressful happens, my stutter is really 10x worse. One of the major downsides of working with the public is the stress that's involved and having to speak for most of your shift, even if you are having trouble communicating. I actually just commented about job interviews on another post, it applies pretty well to your situation: >When you have these job interviews, do you preface it with any sort of discussion about your speech impediment? I know people who have zero understanding of how stuttering works might make the assumption that you're just very nervous or your mind is all over the place. I find that just putting it out there, that I have a speech impediment (not even saying the word stutter) helps ease my nerves, but also helps the other person feel more at ease and helps understand the situation. ​
