Lots of bombed interviews (Even when I lay out the preamble as a PWS). Lots of lost opportunities. Lots of experience of seeing the “oh boy” eye roll look on HR and other interviewers faces when they ...

Yup. I even let the recruiter know before the interview that I stuttered, in hopes it would take the pressure off. I could barely get a sentence out....

I usually give a heads up about my stutter in the first minute of job interviews to avoid lots of awkward looks when I get stuck on words. Had a mix of reactions—some interviewers looked very bored an...
