Yes, absolutely. And I promise this is true for nearly every person who has a stutter. I have a moderate stutter that turns severe during anxiety-inducing moments. I let interviewers know beforehand that I have a verbal disability, and to anticipate pauses in my speech production. I believe communicating this beforehand is crucial. Any reasonable employer will not see this as a "mark" on your interview/application. If you are still able to get your responses out and you felt they were satisfactory, you have nothing to worry about. If an employer/manager views a stutter in any negative light, you do not want to work for them.
