Can't find a 'suitable' job. So... yeah. Been looking at jobs lately and I can't find anything that's not mostly speaking, my stutter ain't bad, I obviously get "those" days when it gets awful, but a lot of those jobs is to make or recieve calls, I can not answer the phone without stuttering, it's rare when my " hello" comes out fluent. It really frustrates me, even more when the job description says "SPEAKS FLUENTLY". I've sent my CV to some places, but when they call me for a quick interview, oh man, I just hang up or just don't answer anymore. Been sad these past days, so this post is to vent my feelings. And I have tried to search for physical jobs but there's very few jobs or you need like 200 years of experience for some reason lmao. pd: english is my 2nd language so I may have errors.
