Well, I am planning to get an internship and move out of my parents house, maybe that is why I am stressed also when I talk to my friends they say they are working on this and that and I feel the guil...

Great post. As someone who stutters and also somehow found his way in a speaking-heavy job, I agree that the biggest change just came from making peace with how I'm perceived. People are much less jud...

I think about stuttering at least every day, if not every hour. Seeing my coworkers get opportunities I don’t have and my boss says “I just haven’t seen the effort from you”. I know it’s a social thin...

Agree. When I have met stutterers for a moment I need to figure out if they are one of us!!  It has fascinated me to find out that some people who stutter have other stuff going on! Sometimes much m...

Stutter/Stammer only with strangers

Stutter/Stammer only with strangers Hi, I’ve had a stutter/stammer since I was young (usually will stammer instead of suttering kind of like a defensive mechanism) and I’ve noticed over the year that ...

Yes. Be a slow speaker and take lots of pauses. It’s not weird and may allow you to prepare your thoughts more as well as stutter less. Both good things for interviews....

You may be more smart than them

You may be more smart than them Just to let you know I have transitioned from severe to mild stutterer. When I was 5, it was severe. Now at the age of 25, it's really mild (depends on situation) Let...

Just to let you know I have transitioned from severe to mild stutterer. When I was 5, it was severe. Now at the age of 25, it's really mild (depends on situation) Let me tell you my success stories:...

Completely agree. Confidence in one area can manifest into other areas (our speech). I left school in 2017 and was doing random part time jobs then ended up in a call center. I didn’t know what I want...

Yes, I put it on the end of my CV, if they don't invite me because of that, then I wouldn't enjoy working there either in an environment where they can't handle it....

Not on applications, but I do mention it when I am starting an interview. Maybe make a joke about it or something (Like I will answer the questions correctly but three times to make sure or something)...

No, don’t do that. Mention it right before the first interview, literally hours or minutes before the event. This way you will have same chances as everyone....

I have an acquaintance with a moderate physical disability who includes it on their CV, even after many have advised against it. They've decided they'd rather not work for a place that screens them ou...

I mention it to the recruiter before the first interview, just to call out the elephant in the room. That way I've flagged it before talking to anyone, but after it can't be held against my applicati...

No, only if I get contacted for an interview or screening. And even then I usually mention it at the beginning if the call, not beforehand. I wouldn't recommend adding it to your CV, though I do know ...

Have you ever mentioned your Stuttering in CV application for job?

Have you ever mentioned your Stuttering in CV application for job? ...

I had an interview like that several years ago. I wasn't that prepared or suited for a position anyway, but the whole experience was horrible. It was me and 3 guys asking me questions, they were stric...

Heck lost count of the interviews I've messed up, some go ok, some are a disaster.. Just yet another "normal" thing that's all but normal for us...

There's no amount of preparation that will prevent that from happening in my experience. It's an awful experience when you're trying to make a good first expression. I'm sorry you had to go through th...

Really sorry to hear about this, OP. I’m sure we’ve sadly all been there with stutters in interviews, but if they won’t give you a job based on your stutter, then they’re not the type of people you wa...
