I was a bank teller in high school/university and I was basically a glorified cashier. I've always had trouble with the "H"in the "How are you today?" but worked on a few scripts to get around this. ...

If your boss is an understanding person (trust me, most of them are) they will put you at another position in the restuarant where you're more comfortable. I recently got a job at a restuarant chain...

They absolutely do. I always give a fair warning before the interview as well, but generally haven't had a problem. Working with customers, phone calls, etc is horribly terrifying at first, but I've...

I'm downright terrified of ever having a job that requires talking to people. I just don't want to be put in that situation while stuttering like an idiot all over myself. Do businesses even hire you ...

Anyone want to share their experience as a cashier that stutters?

Anyone want to share their experience as a cashier that stutters? Or any job that you have to communicate with customers a lot? I got my first job tomorrow and I feel like if I stutter I’ll probably b...

Do you think a person that stutters can be a radio presenter?

Do you think a person that stutters can be a radio presenter? I've got involved with a college radio station and they told me if I send in a demo I can get my own show. I'm very interested in the idea...

After years of speech therapy I still stutter, but it helped me accept the fact that I stutter. And this is arguably just as important. We all know that there's no cure or magic pill. However, the acc...

Have speech therapists benefited you guys?

Have speech therapists benefited you guys? I'm a 22 yo Male with a mild to moderate (very rarely severe) block with a minimal stutter. I was just wondering if a speech therapist actually benefited you...

I hated high school for this reason, being social is so damn important to everyone. Until it’s over. Then all those people leave your life and only the select few that actually give a shit hang around...

In highschool I had the same problems, but I joined the theater program at my school and that really helped me when it came to my public speaking skills. Now that I'm 22 and out of school I've noticed...

I know this pain well - I used to work at a bank and I avoided the incoming calls at all costs (I was terrified and the clients were always angry) and then I worked for a firm where I had to talk with...

I start a new job next week, scared to meet new people but im experienced in this situation and hopefully can come out victorious. I hope your post is right/correct. i too believe that maybe once you...

Stick with it. With a job like that, talking on the phone if it's a regular thing you'll fall into a rhythm and your stutter will decrease over time, it's almost like repetition the more you talk, you...

I so agree with this so much. Stick with the job. If I was in your position I would try to learn not to care what other people think (I realize that's not easy) and use this as a way to practice manag...

I don’t have what you described, so I might not be the best one to help you with, but I will certainly try! What I do to get over my stutter (which is medium-sometimes severe) is I talk to myself and...

Working at a call center with a stutter?

Working at a call center with a stutter? This was my second job and it literally involves communicating with people over the phone all day. I was in training for 3 weeks for this job and hated every s...

I don’t know if he’s around anymore but the “I will teach you to be rich” guy, despite being spammy, suggested to get in a position where you are told “no” every day (business, personal, whatever). Th...

I'm in high school, and I applied for one. I don't know the results yet, but I'm a bit nervous as to the talking aspect of the internships and stuff....

First of all, cheers to you, op. I'm thinking about switching jobs into retail (dishwasher atm) and it makes me really nervous with just how severe my stutter is when I meet new people or am in unfam...

That sounds so cool, congrats! And that's crazy, it's so rare that I meet another stutterer, let alone at a internship. I'm also dreading the poster presentations at the end of the internship, but I ...
