Getting a job

Getting a job Ok so this post has 2 main purposes/questions... 1: what jobs/careers are good/easy for a stutterer? 2: do you all disclose during an interview that you have a stutter (or any other d...

I did! I worked as the front-line IT help desk for my university for 4 years with a moderate-to-severe stutter. One of the best things I ever did for myself. My confidence on the phone and speaking wi...

I've been working in Technical Support for over a year now, at first I was really anxious so my stutter was the worst, I've heard some hurtful comments which made me cry, but with time I gained confid...

I work in I.T. and am currently on rotation taking phone calls. The only thing people care about is being helped with their issue. As long as your competent you'll be fine....

Mild stutter that is now pretty invisible to others (it’s still there though). Had speech therapy when I was younger but nothing since before high school. I read up on different experiences with stu...

Haven’t experienced the voice-to-text at work your described. Only suggestion is to do your best. Unless you’re new, people already know you and will understand. They’ll just go straight to the audio ...

I really feel your pain. However, watching yourself presenting can be really helpful. It's painful at the beginning but the more you do it the easier it becomes. Don't forget that's how everyone else...

Medical fellow here. Finished my residency recently and started my fellowship and I have a moderate to severe stutter. Reading this, I can see a lot of myself in you. I’m sorry to hear about the war ...

It seems hard to do, but for me it helped. It helps with the speech anxiety for sure. And don't assume because they hear you stutter they know that it's stuttering. If you feel uncomfortable straig...

I had a pretty severe stuttering condition from the age of 3 to 14 (I still stutter sometimes, but this age range was the worst in my life) and had trouble even finishing sentences. The constant mocke...

I dont think there ever was a single point, there were a lot of them and aftrr some time, theyve made me immune to my speech fails. I also read lee lovetts book about how he beat his own stuttering....

Disclaimer my stutter use to be moderately severe, but its getting better and its now mild most of the time, so I'm not sure that people with a more severe stutter would feel the same in this situatio...

Looking for a job

Looking for a job I am 16 years old and am looking for my first part time job. The only problem is of course: my stutter. I am thinking a cashier might be my best bet. Even though I am not into the wh...

Stuttering document

Stuttering document I keep a document on Drive where I write what I want to say, and when I need to speak I show it, rather than do a poor attempt at talking. Anyone do anything similar?...

It's the exact same for me. I have been so good at covert stuttering that until I move to a new country (2 years back), most of the colleagues and friends hardly noticed my stutter. I dont know what c...

Woah same here, I’ve been wondering a way out myself. Lately I’ve been thinking stuttering has an effect on it and increases anxiety to a whole nother threshold. I’m a covert stutterer so maybe if we ...

I’m a product owner with a covert stutter. So whilst I can mask it most times, it’s extremely exhausting and a double bad because I then think I’m being fake. I built up my identity a certain way but ...

When you ask them if they want a bag, don't focus on if you're going to stutter on the word bag, visualize giving them the bag. Don't avoid asking anymore. The fear is just building up and making it...

I think what bothers me most about my stutter is that I never stutter when I'm alone. Smooth sailing all the way? Add another person, even my wife? Stutter. It's annoying....

After YEARS of denial and self-help, finally started with speech therapy today Apologies in advance if this is a long post but got a fair bit to let off my chest. I'm 26. I've been stuttering for as ...
