Definitely mention it, to ease your own mind and calm your nerves. I know that when I tell interviewers about my stutter, it makes me more relaxed. Also I would never worry about not getting hired b...

I sometimes mention it, especially if I'm having an off day and I know that I'm going to stutter badly during an interview. On the occasions where I did mention it, a few interviewers would quiz me on...
