Mate, these things happen. It's all about content, not delivery. I'm sure you've done brilliantly despite the fluency and your merits will be well deserved. To present in front of people takes courage...

My greatest piece of advice

My greatest piece of advice My greatest piece of advice.. Stop focusing on improving fluency. That peice of advice has allowed me to live the life I have dreamed. And that's not an exaggeration. I...

I assure you, you aren't going to get fired. That's your stutter puffing out its chest and trying to intimate you. Don't let your stutter push you around. I worked at McDonalds when I was in my early...

Depends on the severity of your stutter and your interviewer. Always have a backup plan, it will lighten the load during the interview....

You won't get fired for stuttering or anything like that but mentally prepare yourself for customers to be rude. I used to work the drive thru at a McDonald's and it was brutal, but all my managers we...

I would say it depends on the severity of your stutter. If it's mild then don't notify them. If it's so severe that you feel the need to tell them, then tell them. It's not something the interviewer s...

You are your own biggest enemy in this. When we are in "high pressured" situations like a job interview we put way too much value into trying to be fluent. The interviewer wants to see that you're...

I've had a mild stutter since childhood-My last several jobs all involved significant phone time. I have found that once I get in the rhythm and become comfortable with it, it becomes second nature. T...

I hate the new automated phone lines which are like "*please recite your reference number so we know where to send you*" ... "*Sorry, I didn't catch that, please try again*". Why the fuck can't I j...

For some reason I find phone calls better, because the person can’t see my weird mouth movements/struggling, and often I can start preparing to say a word physically before I actually need to say it...

Same for me. I attribute that to body language. For some reason, it makes me more confident to be in front of the person instead of having to rely only on my voice....

If I were you, I'd try to adopt a "who cares what this person thinks" mindset. Especially for situations like ordering food and giving them your name. I stutter on my name all the time when ordering o...

I am not sure. Definetly, it was an handicap. When you want to say something and that your own body doesn't let you do it, it's an horrible feeling. On the other hand, it has also pushed me to try t...

I second this, I feel as though for me, it's also the reminder that tons of people could be then watching the vid once uploaded online that it's an imaginary audience in the sense to really 'impress'...

First time commenting, but I am a military officer and had a very tough time during my first tour, due to my stutter. Due to the high stress environment it went from mild to sometimes severe. However...

Some people can learn how to swim by being thrown into deep water. Others will "suffocate" (of course you won't die because you stutter, but you'll traumatize yourself even more and reinforce the stut...

Stop telling yourself lies

Stop telling yourself lies As the title says.. There's probably no help for us, we'll stutter (in my case-speech blocks) for our entire lives, sometimes we'll be fluent, sometimes not.. We all know th...
