Landed a job. Don't be anxious about interviews like I was One of the many worries I had related to my stutter was job interviews. Finally done with school, then grad school, I couldn't prolong it any more. The very first call I had with a recruiter? Horrible. Blocks throughout and I don't know how he put up with it (note phone calls are my worst environment, and have blocks). I couldn't say a lot of technical terms I wanted to. Fast forward a few interviews and recruiter phone calls, I got more comfortable. With the company I eventually chose, 3 hours of video interviews where I felt fluent and comfortable. Part of the reason I chose them - I felt at ease and related to them, and was fairly fluent. Even when I wasn't, and stuttered over simple introductions, for the most part it didn't matter. One senior VP dickhead, in the very last round, seemed agitated by it and finished my sentences. I eventually was ghosted by them after the third interview. I reamed them on Glassdoor and am happy with my better and higher paying job. In short, job interviews were a severe source of anxiety to me due to my stutter. It was rough at first, but worked out in the end. I have hope for you, too, whoever is reading this.
