The smirk on their face as I fumble on my words. That is when I realise that they realise I have a stammer. Then I go into ultra self defensive mode and measure each of my words trying to play cool....

Be up front about it at the beginning of interview. It 1) will relax you (take a giant weight off) and 2) they'll know understand context of what they observe. I have similar fears. My worry is a...
