I was “called out” during an interview for stuttering in order to come up with a good answer to a question. Like I was stalling for time by stuttering. Pathetic interviewer who was projecting their ow...

I haven’t been able to completely overcome my stutter but I am 99.99% stuttering free while I am working. I am in IT and sometimes have to give presentations to clients. I very rarely stutter. I’m not...

Hi! I am in a similar situation. Over the summer the only job I could find was basically a receptionist and I did housing tours for my college. I can’t speak loud or fast because it makes my stutter w...

Did your employers know you stutter? Truly, 99 out of a 100 people (likely more) have sympathy for that. I stutter at times during presentations as well, particularly if it's people I don't know but ...

From what you´ve written so far, I think you should stay at your current job. If it happens only few times per year and your company holds your back, that is kind of success. I admire you. Keep doing ...

It’s not the best day, but don’t let it derail you from the path you’re on. I guarantee these same callers would mock whomever didn’t sound like them. It could be an accent, talking too fast, too fr...

I can't hang up on them. I can transfer them, though. Which I have done. My company has had my back. During the worse situations, they actually called the HR department of the client's company, who ...

Do you have the option of simply hanging up? Since they are calling you with a problem that needs solved, I imagine they'd be the ones sorry for wasting more of their own time. Secondly, your company ...

I'm in IT as well. If you do the math... Assuming you do 3 calls a day and you had 5 situations of this ilk, that is only .25% of the time. So 99.75% of the time it doesn't happen. That's how you ...
