The dreaded telephone Being a life long stutterer, I know first hand the telephone phobia most of us develop over time. Those awkward moments when your blocking on a word and the person thinks the cal...

I'd say if you're thinking about future interviews, then, well, you may have to try to find a friend to practice with. If you can find someone to talk to, you can practice your answers and build up yo...

I have stuttered my entire life too, and even though I have not had a, so to say, serious interview for a professional full time job, mostly for smaller jobs and things like that. The thing is, I usua...

I feel like I'm going to go nowhere in life.

I feel like I'm going to go nowhere in life. So, a little background: I'm 20 years old and I've had a severe stutter since I was 12 years old. Through the years it has only gotten worse. It didn't RE...

Great points below! I just want to offer my two cents as someone who stutters too: First of all, I don't think there's anything "unprofessional" or "wrong" with simply stuttering. It doesn't make us ...
