You just have to keep applying. You'll get there eventually! For interviews all I would say is it's worth mentioning your stutter. Then the interviewers know what to expect and they'll be more patient...

In a conversation as soon as I acknowledge the stutter it decreases drastically. I think that you shouldn’t make a huge deal out of it because he might not understand that it is a huge deal for you. M...
