I hate when people who are fluent slip up and stutter on a word and are like “whoops I did a Claire.” Stuttering is not a joke or an accidental one time slip up. I think about every sentence, every si...

ProTip: Tell your interviewers that you stutter at the beginning of the inerview. I always did that in interviews and was way more fluent than I would have been if I didn't do so. Plus once they kno...

It's also a verbal way to give yourself permission to stutter. You're putting it out there and it's not this awkward unspoken thing. And shows your employer you're comfortable. It's good for a variety...

If you were a woman, black, or an amputee, your interviewer would immediately know what was up with that, with no confusion and no need to ask. If you were gay it would be none of their business to kn...

Yes. I never really tell people I stutter outright - when I feel like its necessary, like if I'm stuttering a ton, I explain that I do have a stutter and I'm not having a stroke. I was telling a story...

I sometimes get fellow stutterers calling in to the call centre I work at. My stuttering mostly comes in the forms of facial ticks and occasional hangs on certain words at random. I normally don't eve...

In college, whenever I had to give a speech, I would always say, “Pardon me, but I do stutter,” and people would be fine with it. Sometimes if I’m talking to a girl, I’ll make a cute game out of it, a...

Yes, the voluntary stuttering was something I learned in speech therapy as a young adult. It was very difficult for me, and my speech pathologist had me practice, say do it 3 times a week with people ...

I'd advise to review the comments and to trust your gut on this call - we weren't in the room and can't pick up on the vibe of the interview. My family runs a HR firm specializing in recruitment and ...

I'm somewhat surprised it didn't come up in the interview. I don't think you should tell them in your thank you note. Do you think your stutter isn't noticeable? Why do you think you should tell them?...

For me it made the whole difference. You might be shocked to find out how much of the anxiety comes from that desire to hide the stutter or to avoid stuttering in order to not look "weird". Once it's ...

The humour thing is definitely not mandatory, I sometimes do it when I feel like it (or when doing stand-up comedy) but not all the time. Regarding mentioning it though -here is my own experience: I ...

I'm not going to turn my stutter into a joke, I'm not into that. I don't mention my stutter to new people either. I let them figure it out and/or they can ask me about the way I speak, and I'll be ha...

I understand, and I have been through what you are describing. Stuttering significantly impacted my self-confidence for so long. The social anxiety resulting from having to deal with a stutter was als...
