Thank you! I thought it would be a good idea to include and use it as a strength instead of a weakness. It shows that I’m not afraid of my stutter and despite having one can still communicate efficien...

Great way of disclosing your stutter. Just walk in, smile, and breathe. They already know you stutter, now HIT them with your KSAs (knowledge, skills and abilities). Good luck...

I think it’s admirable you wrote on your cover letter that you stutter. And they are having an interview with you regardless (as they should) so sounds like you will be accepted and will do great Go...

Have an interview in 3 hours and I’m nervous/excited.

Have an interview in 3 hours and I’m nervous/excited. I’m applying for a spa attendant position for Gene Juarez spa and salon. I really want the job but am a littler nervous my stutter will get in the...

TED Talk

TED Talk I just wanted to share a positive experience I had recently -- at my work, they had Diversity and Inclusion talks and asked for volunteers for the department. Another PWS and I prepared a tal...

me too, I think its helpful to be able to say yo7 have a stutter,...

> This whole thing caught me off guard as nobody has ever really approached me about my stuttering before. I hate to say it, but welcome to the real world. I don't think you should be clamming up ...

Thanks for the words man! I've told my boss and colleagues but it's just people in the office who look at me funny in passing when we're not familiar with eachother. Can be quite awkward sometimes hah...

Starting a first job is hard for anyone, unfortunately more so for a person who stutters. If you get stuck, I suggest that you let people know what is going on. I found out that before I was open and ...

I am a national trainer and I completely know how you feel. What helps me is I disclose my stutter to everyone so that when they hear my heavy breathing, hear my clicks and different facial expressi...

The first day of class when they made us introduce ourselves I told everyone I had a speech impediment so everyone in my cohort would be aware of it! Of course I was able to tell by their body languag...

dude i totally get you. i have a pretty bad stutter and would always have extreme anxiety on the first day because of this same reason. I got so tired one day i just asked my new teaches to avoid me ...

Hey man, been through it, for like 13 years and it never felt like the last one, i would go to my teacher before class began to let her know that i have a stutter and when the students introduced them...

Congratulations on being transparent and getting that weight lifted from your shoulders! Telling people you stutter is what SLPs call "advertising". It really helps because most people have no idea wh...

It took me years to be able to do it. But I finally did. And I’ve felt better in this one day than I’ve felt in my entire life. It was nerve wracking at first but I could get used to being open about ...

Congratulations! I admit that’s something I’ve never done, been up front with my stutter. That’s huge!...

I’ve stuttered most of the time that I’ve introduced myself. One of my first sentences I added in the script was “I apologize for my stutter in advance” but saying my name and all was always bad becau...

I’m really sorry to hear about your troubles. I’ve definitely been in your shoes before! Interviews, especially phone interviews, are difficult for everyone. Us who stutter have it even more difficult...

Precisely! At that point they will more often than not offer the in person interview for whatever reason being anything from giving a fair chance to just being sympathetic, either way it gives OP chan...

Seconding this. It's helped me immensely getting it out there before the phone interview so they already know. I'd just tell them via email beforehand, "Hey, quick heads-up out of transparency, I have...
