I am an adult with a professional job. In my case, I let my manager knew about my stutter and he makes sure that I am not put in the spotlight to present or even say my name during the introductions. ...

Yeah, in first world countries at least people can hire you for the disability quota or whatever, people that have difficulties can have a chance and get help, i'm in the sixth country with the most s...

What do you mean by a radical change? What exactly do you intend of doing? You cant change a personality trait like shyness so easily. And your stutter isn't going away unless you outgrow it. Changing...

It's unrealistic to not consider severe stuttering as a serious issue , it's not only affecting your social life but also your career and making a living. And you are totally doomed if you are in a ...

Name and Shame: Florida Man’s Toys

Name and Shame: Florida Man’s Toys I would like to start by saying that this has been the worst experience I have had with a store or a business owner in my entire life. The disrespect crossed a line...

I understand that from the perspective of someone who stutters, you might want to avoid talking. In my experience, those four word questions in an email inevitably lead to a back and forth that spans...

Thanks for your analysis. I'm 77, female. stuttered since childhood, (now mildly) was depressed a lot in my past, married well, and didn't compete in the work field, and live in the US....

There are 5 slides, don't miss them! I also apologize about the weird pie chart arrangement, Google Forms is weird. **Some thoughts of interest based on the results:** We got 90 responses to the sur...

Well done and thanks for your inspiring words! My first proper full time job was in a call centre too and the first two calls were a complete disaster. Luckily the first one was a simulated call ...

I’m proud of where I have got my fluency to. Have various techniques I use to be pretty close to fluent when I need to be. Have a life and career I couldn’t have imagined. I struggle with the whole...

I used to have a bad stutter throughout my teens and college. Was mostly introverted. I’m 27 now and a doctor. I have to have a lot of conversations with different kinds of people and patients, and pr...

Successfully received 13 calls today at a call centre as my first-time job! Hey ladies and gentlemen. I just wanted to share this small happiness with you people to let y'all know that I have had a su...

It depends on the job. Small business, *maybe* they will look at it, this will depend a lot on the company, role, and industry. Large companies, 99.99% they will roll their eyes and toss it, because t...

Yea I have. My first job as a dish washer I did that and got the job. It's best if the manger is there to receive it as he or she may just interview you right there and there. Or better yet, they just...

Hey thank you for sharing this. Pretty much in the same position as the you both in age (28) and the type of roles I'd be applying for as well. I'd be down to help you do some mock interviews. This ha...
