As far as prohibiting discrimination of disabled applicants for employment, the only country that I’m aware of is the US. We have hiring rights. I imagine the UK has them, too. Maybe not India. You’ll...

This is true—employers don’t have to explicitly state that a person was denied a job because of their stutter. Instead, they typically send a standard rejection email, saying they’ve found a more suit...

Just keep trying. I’ve bombed a few interviews myself, but ended up landing my dream job. If I didn’t bombed those interviews, I would have never been in the place where I am right now....

This doesn’t matter. 99% of the time the employer won’t be stupid enough to tell you that you got rejected because of that. They simply will say that they went with another candidate....

Not sure if possible but when asked prior to the interview , I try to let the person know that I stutter as a disability and might need more time to speak. I let them know that English is my first lan...

Thanks for the advice. That’s a good idea. Will try it. Hope the officer is understanding. I am a bit less concerned about talking with the patients cz I rarely stutter with them....

Fellow stutterer here, I had my US visa interview, I told them, before starting " I have a small thing to say, I block on a few words, I have a speech issue/I stutter" Then most of the interview was ...

Oh my gosh! So rude of them to talk to you that way. I’m in the same boat as you. I work as a call center representative (how ironic is that) and I stutter too. I’ve been mocked, insulted, and called ...

Oh buddy. I work in research. Drug names and most scientific terminology is a fucking STRUGGLE. The words do not flow whatsoever, and these are some of the select times that I have ever stuttered mid ...

I think because you're making it to the final rounds of interviews, the decision isn't based on your stutter which is good. Shows that your achievements are showing above your stutter and that you can...

Having trouble getting a job as a fresh college graduate.

Having trouble getting a job as a fresh college graduate. Hi M23, I just joined this group because I’m not sure where else to go. I’ve made it to the final round of interviews multiple times (sometim...

Glad it works for you in a way, but I don't drink - never have, never will - and refuse to randomly self-medicate. Even though I'm 52, I still hope to one day find a way to get at the root cause of th...

It sucks for sure I have def lost jobs because of my speech. I go in all confident and the interviewer gives that look like “😟”. Hurts, but on the flip side I find disclosing makes things so much eas...

Joining the military or becoming a police officer if I had never stuttered...

Ask yourself how much you're going to regret it later on if you don't go. Don't let your stutter take opportunities away from you...

If a date doesn’t want you because you stutter, that’s gonna be a harsh relationship. If a job doesn’t like you because you stutter, imagine how they treat other disabilities. Despite stuttering my wa...

I have situational stutter and blocks as well, it’s very frustrating. I was once really scared that it would hinder my career, but the truth is that my career is unaffected. Not every employer expects...

Unable to secure any job offers due to my stutter

Unable to secure any job offers due to my stutter I (28F) have a situational stutter meaning you wont find me stutter in normal occasions but when I am giving interviews, I really get stressed and I g...

Might be in the minority but I actually appreciate when someone does this for me (but only singular words) since it allows me to get the information I want to convey across quicker. I’ve got the block...

Same. Sometimes I say something not because it's what I want to say but because it's just easier for me to say. And I 100% agree about other things that you mentioned too. But hey, it'll get better. ...
