>Once you get older you realize the stuttering isn't what's holding you back, it's your negativeness towards your speech. "Once you get older you realize the stuttering isn't what's holding you ba...

Honestly love why I am going into speech pathology. They understand my stutter. I could never see myself doing any other job. That is a huge obstacle and interviews make my speech 1000000x worse, just...

While you are in your junior year, work hard to get those top grades. Join engineering groups. Attend events of all kinds. Don't let one or two nay-sayers get you down. Start putting yourself in sit...

You should always let your employer know that you stutter. Trust me, I've been working for almost 25 years and everything started getting better when I started telling my managers, co-workers, and cli...

Can I ask how old are you? I felt like this for years, all the way through school. It's really hard. But it does get better. As I got older (I'm in uni now, which is a better environment than school) ...

No. I never say yes on the application. Better approach is to mention that you Stutter before the interview....

No way. Sorry to say it but the job market is extremely competitive and stating you have a disability will put you at a significant disadvantage to others applicants. IMO if you tick you have one fil...
