Anyone in the UX/UI design field? Seeking some career advice

Anyone in the UX/UI design field? Seeking some career advice I've been going through a career change after quitting my boring, mindless, repetitive job in data analysis about a year ago. Went through ...

Mine is kind of similar. I stutter a lot in social situations when I get excited or happy about something. I start talking faster, my brain outpaces my mouth, and it just falls apart. Like I’ll be ...

Does this affect high-end jobs, like I guess they might have quotas or normal jobs, but how would they expect someone that checked yes apply for a job like manager? I assume there’s no quota for jobs ...

When I‘m on the phone, I write my last name, or any problem word, usually my address, on a notepad as I’m saying it and it works pretty well. Much respect to you for teaching. I eliminated from consid...

I tick yes. Firstly, it gives them a heads up of what to expect. Secondly, companies like to look progressive by hiring disadvantaged candidates, like disabled people. I give them a chance to pump th...

Is it better to say you have a disability on a job application

Is it better to say you have a disability on a job application What are the pros and cons of checking off yes I have a disability when sending in job applications ? I have always checked off no, and ...

I'm trying. It mostly fails not on the phone, but in person actually at the job interview. It also comes down to the job market which looks pretty bleak right now, the jobs most available in the supe...

Hang in there. I definitely know what you mean, I felt that I was never going to get a job in sales or other roles where intense, fast negotiation was required, as I saw other peers get really intense...

Same man, except my stutter came at 18, right when I started college. It’s been tough and has totally changed my life. I’m 22 and still have it. I feel you on the whole job interview thing and talking...

Sick of this.

Sick of this. Life could be so easy. I was always an articulate kid and still am, during the moments I don't stutter. Then at 15, my stutter developed out of nowhere. It got worse over the years, and...

I’ve stuttered since I was born. And I’ve taught and created over 20 courses. I know for a fact that my fluency issues have cost me teaching jobs but when I’m granite the opportunity, I always shine. ...

I'm in a similar situation. My stutter has always been pretty prominent and I'd never say I've gained any mastery over it, but I've been able to give presentations and serve in leadership positions in...

Venting

Venting I've been stuttering since I can remember.Not a single day passes without me stuttering, I feel embarrassed, I feel guilty for stuttering, I am supposed to be excited for an internship like my...

For stutterers in the UK!!!

For stutterers in the UK!!! I came across a company/organisation in the UK that helped people with stutters apply for jobs. Basically it would guarantee you an interview if your skills matched the job...

Listen, it’s dudes who don’t stutter at all but fold up like lawn chairs when they met women. Many have no clue how to put a verbal avalanche in her ear so her body can get so hot her brain start to m...

Nice! My experience has almost always been that stammering is most difficult to deal with during an interview because you're expected to speak very articulately and clearly so awesome job...

You get out of it what you put into it. You can achieve all-day / everyday fluency. I was a severe stutterer for the first 25 years of my life. Today it takes new people I meet and work with months to...

I try my best to hide it (: but being in this field with a stutter/speech block is the most frustrating thing ever (in my pov). As a teacher, they expect us to have this super power that we could and ...

I completely understand. I have the same job minus the forklift and over time it really does become easier and you'll learn to do it automatically. There will be off days where everything does seem to...

I did, but I had to work at it and still work to maintain my fluency. Also, for me at least “fluency” means that I am able to communicate well with others in my personal and professional life. I still...
