First of all, it's completely okay to be frustrated with it. Anyone would be and most of us are at some point. But I would say that you probably shouldn't look to a career for fulfillment or self ex...

Yeah, that sucks. But please don't stop going to interviews? I don't know if you have a job already that you don't like or don't have one, but either way, please keep looking? Of course all this ma...

Not to long ago I had an interview to be a busser at a family restaurant. The guy straight up lied to my face and said my stutter won't be a problem. A friend of mine (that got me the interview) knows...

I just had an interview Wednesday. I stuttered moderately through the whole thing. It was a server position in a senior living community. The interview itself was pretty straightforward, just asked wh...

I used to feel like that and still do sometimes. Now I preface my job interviews with the fact that I stutter and most of the times the interviewer is cool with it. If you stutter just pretend like it...

hi i am a stutterer and an animation professional(+10 years). i like your story and am happy to help you if you need/want any. my specialty is character animation(3d) but also have lots of experienc...

If you feel like you have nothing left to lose, call them back first and be spontaneous about it. Taking initiative quickly helped me find precious spurts of fluency in these situations in the past....

Pressured situations tend to make stuttering worse. Unless you're confident and up to the task, dealing with unhappy customers might be overwhelming. But it also might be a good occasional challenge t...

I mean yeah if you really want a shitty job, this is a setback. But in the long run, OP probably wont give a shit about a low-tier job at Lowes....

Call or email them and let them know of your stutter. If they're any amount of compassionate, it'll help you in the long run. Might even get you that job....

*Solid hiring processes* for Lowes takes hours, not weeks, nor days. Most companies could easily hire people *that day*. It's not a position running a hospital FFS. ...

I feel that jobs like the ones you've mentioned (customer service, sales & marketing) will help to desensitise you to phone calls and speaking to strangers etc. You're going to be speaking to peop...

I flubbed a job interview with Apple. The man sounded so unimpressed on the phone, I was like damn I must have fucked up *bad*. ...

Yeah, I was thinking you could call back too. And this time say upfront that you have a stutter and that you'd like an in-person interview. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying "it's a m...

In the past if a person who I applied for a job for called and I did not want to deal with the phone I would just let them leave a message and then I would just go into the business either the same da...

You got too in your own head because like you said, phone rang, talking on the phone makes you anxious, in this you discovered it was an important call, and all this pressure is enough to make anyone ...

I too recently went through a job search. It sucks. Phone interviews are the worst, and I'm pretty sure I lost a couple good opportunities because the dumb person on the other side of the line didn't ...

Ah man, that sucks. On the bright side, in the long run you probably dont want to work for a shitty company that sqedules interviews on the day. Solid hiring processes takes weeks and months....

I think I just blew it

I think I just blew it I just received a call from Lowes about a job. The employer saw my application and called me to setup an interview. Here's where things went down hill: As soon as that phone ra...

You should know that up selling and persuading for your own benefit is not selling, it's manipulation. Selling a product you now will benefit your customer *because* it will benefit your customer is s...
