I've used this approach personally and there's a relief that it's out in the open. Once, it was actually a bonus - I was interviewing with a partner at the local accounting firm and the guy was real...

It is appropriate to mention your stutter at a job interview?

It is appropriate to mention your stutter at a job interview? What are your thoughts? I have a moderate stutter that is noticeable as I have prolong speech. If you do believe it is appropriate, do y...

Worked at retail for years. Often the laugh is then coupled with outright ignorance like "Oh, I didn't know" as if that makes it okay. What I did was burn a few seconds at the start, on days I could f...

It's something that crossed my mind. But ultimately I couldn't think of any name that was both noticably easier to say, and still felt like me. In my job introducing yourself to new people is very ...

Hi. 22F here and I have felt what you felt before and have had my stutter for as long as I can remember, but it does get better. After graduating college, I was terrified about not being able to find ...

The question was 'what motivates me to keep on living'?, right? I have two arms and two legs - they all work... Full set of teeth, that's great. I have had tumors removed from my body so I'm in remis...

With kids you just tell them you have a speech problem and they still like you. With adults, they judge you. Definitely go to the interview because you'll be in a MUCH more positive environment. I rea...

Definitely do the interview for the nursery. I work at a school and the kids I work with are more understanding and patient with my stutter than a lot of work places I’ve been in. The more interviews ...

QUIT! i’m probably a bad influence but honestly if they aren’t being considerate and accommodating a literal disability then you can do better. best of luck w the nursery job, i hope you can find a wo...

I used my job to make my stutter better. Why don’t you view every phone call a opportunity to get better? When you do stutter, in a cool way just mention you have a speech impediment and you are worki...

If you want to take the nursery job then do the interview. Please don’t let your stutter dictate what you do with your life :)...

You should definitely take the job opportunity! The last thing you would want is to regret not doing things because of your stutter...

Yeah for sure! I feel like once I get used to the job and feel more comfortable it’ll get easier....

I can relate. When I get a new job, I always struggle at first with the phone. But after awhile, it becomes easy, because my brain adjusts. What never becomes easy, though, is just randomly answering ...

Starting my new job!

Starting my new job! I got a job as a dental receptionist and I start tomorrow! I’m really nervous but I hope to work through my stutter and overcome it. My biggest concern is answering the phone (th...

Phone calls were (and still are to an extent) hard for me to get used to. I used to be similar to you and absolutely terrified of answering the phone or having to call someone. The only thing that did...

To answer everyone, No i am not in school. I flunked my first semester in all 4 classes with grades ranging from 11-34 . Ive been kicked out of the school and denied fafsa for the next year. The scho...

I’m 19 and have no work experience. I haven’t even tried to get a real job because my stutter is so bad. I currently work online for Appen Connect. You only get 20 hours a week and it’s only $10 an ho...

I agree about not putting the fact that you stutter on your job application. Wait until the interview. During the interview, I inevitably block, either straight away during introductions or during so...
