So I definitely stuttered during my interview for the job I have now. I had a hard block and could not get the word out but I quickly recovered and didn’t let it phase me. That would be my biggest tip...

See for me, it makes me feel MORE in control. It also puts me at ease. When I don’t disclose, I feel forced to speak normally which usually makes things worse. When I disclose I feel comfy and honestl...

If it’s obvious enough that you’re disclosing it, then disclosing it isn’t what will make you lose the job. Disclosure just kills the elephant in the room, lets the other person know that you’re aware...

Employers might consider it a weakness they may not. But I think it is better to disclose it if you think it is necessary. If you have multiple blocks throughout the interview then the interviewer mig...
