I say it honestly depends on the job. As an 18 year old, I got my first job after somewhere between 8-10 interviews at other locations. Those jobs were cashiers as they were the only position hiring f...

I agree and it can be caused by two reasons. Because of the stigma attached to stuttering which makes it less likely for the person who stutters to be hired or promoted. And because of the mental aspe...

For me I can see it being true. Luckily I have two incomes, one from a hobby that I can do all from my office and not need to speak to anybody, but in my day job I have no desire to move up the corpor...
