Going in with a wild self confidence really helps, also disclaiming it before the interview begins and taking a glass of water if your mouth gets dry. If you can manage it, eye contact also helps me o...

Ask yourself, why is it bad to stammer. Why do you think it’s bad. Can you get to the point where it just is? You recognize it, sometimes it annoys you, but it’s just how you are, it’s just how you sp...
