The fact that you showed up and did it is an amazing thing. Celebrate yourself! But I agree with others that self advocacy is such a key part of interviewing I just interviewed for a teaching job ...

Hey. Even I had an interview today and felt that it could've been much better if I didn't have a stutter. I guess this is life, can't wait for it to be done...

To be fair I never do my best during interviews. I always walk out of the interview thinking "Why the hell did I say that and not this?" That's normal. And yeah it's competitive, but you already got t...

Yeah, I did and yes, the panel was understanding my condition but still I feel I didn’t do my best and might not be considered for this job. I usually disclose this every single time and mostly peop...

Did you disclose your stutter at the start of the interview? Doing this usually helps the panel understand what's going on. I usually start off by saying something along the lines of "I'm sure you can...

Choppy interview - Day ruined

Choppy interview - Day ruined Hey just want to share my Virtual interview experience today. The interview was with the City, and I did get good grades in the test. However, in the virtual interview to...

Right now I'm doing an online internship in video game localization (translation) to hopefully find my place in the field. I don't have to speak at all. However, I will probably start studying web dev...

I’ve worked from home for about five and a half years as a writing tutor and freelance copy editor. Before that, I was the copy editor for my hometown newspaper. I have a bachelor’s in mass communicat...

I’ve got a couple, a first year uni student for Occupational therapy, just working to get money to pay it off. I work in a bakery part time, I tutor people in singing, guitar and piano, and I bake th...

I would inform the interviewer about my condition and ask for an in-person or written interview. If they decline, they risk violating the disability laws present in most countries....

I’m a woman and I don’t feel I have it easier at all. I work in a corporate environment where I frequently need to present to senior leadership. There is a such thing as ‘executive presence’. Those th...

Honestly, I just decided "f*ck it" I am not letting this hold me back. I said this when I was working at a factory where I had no customer interaction, but it was terrible working there. I now do IT(w...

You have to tell them in the beginning that you have a severe stutter. If they don't hire you because of it that's discrimination. Unless the jobs requires constant speaking....

I think this is a disability with so many layers. Some have a more difficult forms of stuttering, some have less support from family or friends, some are more bullied/dismissed, some develop lifelong ...

I don’t think it’s something that should be brought up in this sub honestly. I do think women have it slightly easier in some ways but that doesn’t make their stutter any less of an issue. Men are exp...

I find it helpful during phone interviews to type stuff on my laptop as I go through the interview, that will help me spell out my ideas easier....

Opt for video interviews. And in the interview, tell them that you have a speech disability and ask if you can type out your answers using the chat side-window. I've done this for all my interviews an...

Trust me bud it's not the end of the world. I remember my first phone interview where I stuttered a little but I still got the phone I just blamed it on bad reception. The 2nd interview of my life was...

Yes.. stuttering is not a fun experience for either sexes. I am not dismissing the female experience but I understand why a guy will argue that stuttering is worse for men than women. The "burden" soc...

I am a woman who stutter (severe stutter). My life is a nightmare. I don't have a job. My parents and other people never understood me. School was a nightmare. I don't understand why stuttering men th...
