It really all depends on the person interviewing. I’ve gotten turned down before after interviews where I stuttered some, and hired after ones I stuttered a lot in. Aim for smaller local businesses, l...

This was me. I couldn’t say my own name, starts with a M. I let my stutter basically ruin my life for 35 years. What changed was when it was obvious this guy didn’t hire me because of my stutter I had...
