Question: Did you disclose your stutter? When I didn't disclose, I was more focused on my stutter, and I would bomb the interview. When I did disclose, I got it out there, and I focused on the P...

An interview is the best place to begin by disclosing. Make sure to not apologize, but just inform, and then move to next topic. And do it within moments of interview starting, otherwise you may chi...

I love that you're asking this. I would say something to them in person so that the message isn't distorted and is crystal-clear. Emails or texts can sometimes give off a different message. Ask how...
