I give you a lot of credit. I worked in the kitchen for over a year before they made me go out front, I was super scared. The boss may shy away from a discussion about stuttering, fearing that you’re ...

Work Issues

Work Issues i work in fast food and have been for about 6 months now. I’ve learned everything except front counter and back window/coordinating. I’ve asked my boss several times if i could get trained...

A few months ago I was in the same boat. Im a software professional, so most of my time is spent writing/testing code. My interactions with others are limited to a daily standup in which I have to spe...

I wish I had advice for you, unfortunately I don’t, but I just wanted to say I’m in the same boat and 100% know exactly how you feel. I have an MA and have been looking for jobs in professional fields...

My stutter made me dread waking up everyday in all of my years of school. I was terrified to just say "here" when the teacher was doing the morning attendance. I have been made fun of by fellow studen...

Absolutely, I enclose to the recruiter/ assistant scheduling the interview that my stutter may get really bad at times. And again at the beginning of the interview. I'm in kind of a highly specialized...

I hate it so much to be honest. I mean I tried to get used to it since it’s apart of me but it never works. Stuttering literally ruined my life. For instance, it made me scared to make new friends, ta...

I feel your pain on this one. It took me almost 100 interviews, over 20 to the final round, before I finally got an offer out of grad school. Fortunately, it's been easier since then because my career...

If you don't already, disclose your stutter right before the interview (I do it after the introduction/formalities.) Bonus points if you tell them that you are actively trying to improve it. I would...

i had many jobs. most of them i got them because i knew somebody. knowing people inside the business beats everything else...

Man that's so rough, I'm really sorry to hear. Do you tell them you stutter beforehand? I honestly don't know too much to say other than finding action to take to give you confidence in your speech. I...

Sorry that thiss comment isn't that helpful but I'm worried about the same damn thing. I'm in the last year of University. We were supposed to get an internship in the summers and i always got rejecte...

Been job searching for two years

Been job searching for two years Hello everyone. This is my first post and I am feeling defeated. I'm 30 years old have worked in digital communications for seven years. I've been searching for a new ...

I figured it was overstepping to tell people on their behalf, just wanted to ask for a second opinion. I didn't know it was legally considered a disability, that certainly makes how people respond mor...

Thank you for the long response, it is very helpful. 1. I do tend to speak quickly so I'll try to keep that in mind. 2. When I said "how can I help" I meant more of how can be I helpful to the situa...

Thank you, if they get the job I planned on asking at some point. I just like to be prepared because as I said, I have my own issues with social awkwardness and so many times I feel like my intention ...

A have a mild stutter. I can be more or less fluent with friends and family, although I always change up my words to avoid if I feel a block coming on.. I guess that’s my technique?? But at work I t...

I think it's best to ask the person directly what they want you to do. Some people want to be "outed" and some don't. Some people want special treatment, some don't. But the general consensus is to j...

As if my first response wasn’t long enough lol, here’s something else I’d like to add. I wouldn’t have a conversation with your team about the employee’s stutter for the reasons I already wrote about....

Stutterer here. First of all, I think it's really great that you're proactively and thoughtfully asking how you can be a good support to your future employee. As someone who was almost fired for havin...
