Try going on job interviews for jobs you have absolutely no interest in accepting, for two reasons. First of all, you'll get practice in speaking in that type of environment which can help if you go ...

Advertise, advertise, advertise. In my own personal experience, if the HR professionals know that you have a stutter and therefore a "disability" (which I don't particularly like that term anyway), ...

mine is hit or miss. Granted more miss that hit. But there are interviews(both in person and phone) where I am just in a flow "zone". Every word is fluent. Confidence is soaring. Then there are others...

Job applications and Interviews

Job applications and Interviews Anyone else experience anxiety about applying for jobs and the whole interview process? I'm bad at answering the phone, get nerves talking to new people and that's grea...

Agree with this 100%. It's tough, believe me I know. But ultimately, we're responsible for how we interpret and how we react to it every single day. Blaming "life" and simply feeling sorry for ourselv...

I feel the same exact way. There isn't a single day where I don't stutter to my boss or my colleague. And it came to the point where my sentence wouldn't make any sense because I keep juggling words a...

Yes, but not because of the fact that it's military training. If you'd have told me 15 years ago (I'm 29 now & have been in for almost 10 years) that I would be joining the military I would have l...

Thankfully I've been lucky & have never been unable to do anything I wanted due to having a stutter. The only thing that has ever stopped me in the past is myself. If you're anything like me, you...

In the past I've seriously considered joining the military, including the AF (was eyeing cryptologic linguist, of all jobs). I've read about a speaking test at MEPS to test for dysfluencies. Did you h...

I'd like to know the answer to this too. As I've said in other posts, my current job requires me to talk all day... But my attitude towards stuttering hasn't changed. I loathe going to work because I ...

100% agree. I used to let stuttering dictate my life. I've now worked in journalism for 5 years, talk to strangers every day, cold call people every day, talk on the phone in front of a 20-person ne...

I once worked with a project manager who controlled millions upon millions in construction work building high rises. That involves speaking daily in person and over the phone with owners, contractors,...

Had the same problem once. I stuttered on my name and everything. Looked like I was struggling badly. Ended up getting the job. Don't give up....

Had a job interview 3 weeks ago. The job was my dream job, so i was very nervous and it was just my 2nd interview in my hole life. So not very experienced in this situation. I am german and it was a ...

I feel ya, interviews have been a nightmare. Shits frustrating when you know you're capable of showing them more than you did. For me, a lot of that anxiety has come from trying to hide the fact that ...

Practice, practice, practice. It can make a huge difference. You don't have to be perfectly fluent to confidently socialize with peers or talk to professors. Personally I like Bill Parry's book (Under...

It's not an advantage at all--sure, it can make you unique for a while, but after that people will be tired of listening to you, since you keep stuttering costantly. But that's my point: yes, stutteri...

Hang in there. It sucks but there will be more opportunities. Definitely jump at the chance for any job interview, even if you're not sure it's right for you. The more practice you get, the better you...

Sorry to hear. Lots of people struggle with job interviews though, stutter or not. I tend to have the opposite problem and I start rambling, which is a bad habit. ...

How many of those did you done? I had similar experiences, at fist. Bit like after the third one it was great. I got used to the situation and tried not to take it so seriously. It depends though on ...
