I'm not against advertising. Many stutterers find it helpful. Its good to try at least once and see what works for you. I may have misinterpreted you, but I don't think it's necessary spending seve...

Don’t you think that disclosing the stutter eases anxiety, breaks the ice, and positions OP for a better smoother riding interview rather than doing it all covertly? Depending what OP would be doing...

While it's your option to disclose, I am not sure it's necessary to spend several minutes, specifically in the beginning, talking about your stutter. It's retail. They want someone honest, dependabl...

First of all congrats! Sounds exciting in a lot of ways. As far as the stutter, I have some experience stuttering in front of those that don't speak English. I took Japanese in high school, and we ha...

Do you ever disclose to the interviewer beforehand that you stutter? It usually takes a ton of pressure off so you don't have to force yourself to be a fluent speaker....

They know about my stuttering and are very accommodating. They've allowed me to write my messages in meetings instead of talking. But face to face will be different. Also it's not just about work. I...

Can you disclose your stuttering to them before moving? I’ve found a lot of tension realized as soon as I go into difficult situations where I expect to stutter like interviews or meeting new people. ...

Like most have said, definitely mention it at the beginning of the interview (phone or in person). If you interview with multiple people, tell each one. It may help you stutter less because you are le...

Congrats on your achievement! I know what you mean about the expressions. I've dealt with all kinds over the years. I think having a smile and telling your audience you stutter can't hurt in your situ...

Disclosure is almost always the best option. Helps you not feel like you’re keeping a secret, helps put other people at ease but letting them know you aren’t, say, drunk, or otherwise incapacitated....

By all means, let them know up front. If you notify them before the interview, I’d still suggest reminding them at the beginning of the interview; this allows you to focus on what you’re saying, and n...

I usually tell them prior the (telephone) interview that I have a stutter, just to let them know. It makes me think about the stutter less and we also avoid the uncomfortable part “Is everything ok?” ...

Disclosing that you stutter can help psychologically. You won't feel the need to hide it, and therefore you can stutter freely. For me starting to speak slowly and methodically helps with bad blocks....
