Tell the interviewer up front that you stutter sometimes. LIE and say "it's not a problem for me; it doesn't interfere with work, just sometimes it takes me a little longer to say things." This is...

It's good to hear that you're stepping out of your comfort zone. I too installed both of these apps, but much to my dismay, I did not ever utilise them. I was always caught up in the cycle of "I'll do...

When explaining to someone who asks why I can't talk like them I just say I stumble over my words a lot and it takes a bit longer to get sounds and words out. Lots of people stutter or know of someone...

Yeah, I was thinking you could call back too. And this time say upfront that you have a stutter and that you'd like an in-person interview. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying "it's a m...

If they're mature, they should have some kind of sympathy and sense it, since you brought it up and explained to them, so they should be chill and make you comfortable :) instead of ankward silence......
