I have a few things to say about this. First, you're not a bad person for feeling this way. It is likely that hearing someone stutter reminds you of your own stuttering and brings up some kind of emo...

you would think so. I have a friend who currently does this job that I am applying for. I have been waiting for a position to go up in his sector for months. The position requires hardly any communica...

I too struggle with speaking on the phone. In your case, one option would be this: Assuming you will be contacted for an interview, allow the to go to voicemail. They almost certainly will leave a mes...

I don’t know why I blanked out on this earlier, but if you are in the US, see what your state has in terms of a Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. That’s a state government office that helps folks...

So it’s a local government job? Aren’t they supposed to be *required* to have alternate methods as accommodations?...

Yeah, that would be the type of service. Folks that hang up on you for using it are idiots. Unfortunate that they are in a position to make hiring decisions....

Am I a hypocrite?

Am I a hypocrite? i have a confession to make: i get annoyed listening to people who stutter. i don't know if its because it reminds me of my stutter or if it is just that i am generally impatient a...

I would do that, but this application is just an online form to fill. I cant attach cover letters or anything. Its very straight forward, fill in the spaces. There isnt even an email address for the h...

i find for me its strangers, friends, and family are the absolute worst yet people i only kinda know (co-workers, friends of friends, etc) i am at my most fluent. ...

best response to "What, did you forget your name?" i have ever heard was "no, i have a stutter, and your a dick." i am just waiting for an occasion to use this. then again, that may not be the best ...

I'd suggest putting a tiny blurb at the bottom of a cover letter, possibly saying something to the effect of I am a PWS and not very fluent over the phone, but I would be more than happy to talk to yo...

That is a good idea, I don't have two phones though haha...

I have tried using one service like that before, which I think is the same thing. It's where you type and someone else speaks for you right? I just got hung up on over and over again...I think the ser...

If necessary, you could make use of some TTY service. I've never done so, so I can't give any insight as to how helpful it would be, though....

I like this, this is exactly how I was at college, comepletely open to everybody and I would talk to whoever, just shoot the shit. Sure I would stutter and have blocks, but they didn't seem as defined...

Yea I see where you're coming from. I have a hard time just saying words on the phone. I guess have someone else call if you feel you need to in order to get a job. One thing you culd try doing is jus...
