I did an interview last month and I helped myself by practicing the answers to certain questions over and over. Although I did stutter and find substitute words for my answers throughout the conversat...

Yep, my go to is to start off the interview with something like “I just want to be upfront, I do stutter but it has never stopped me from doing my job.” I’ve had maybe 12 interviews in my life. I f...

The best thing you can do is get a job that involves talking. You’ll build your confidence and practice ways around the blocks....

You are so right. The program I was interviewing for is for pre-health professionals, so it would be hypocritical for them to reject me for my stutter 😅...

I’ll second the data entry idea. I had a couple great jobs doing data entry. Sat in an office by myself and didn’t have to interact with anyone but my boss when they dropped more stuff for me to typ...

I get what your saying, but you're misunderstanding me. I'm trying to motivate the kid, not turn him from reality. I have a crippling stutter too. I get it. However, he can have a romantic relation...

I stuttered through every interview I've ever had. Im now an adjunct professor at the program university I interviewed for as a student years ago. I don't think you have anything to worry about. You'v...

I’ve found that informing the interviewer I stutter right at the start makes me feel more confident during the interview and during moments of stuttering. A script such as “before we begin I want to s...

There are plenty successful stutterers. Many stuttered their way through interviews....

I can’t talk on the phone at all either. Jobs are required to provide reasonable accommodations, so if your stutter is severely preventing you from being able to do a job-related duty, ask about getti...

First off, congratulations on getting the job. The way i do it is i have two first names, i pick the easier one for me to introduce myself. If you have only one first name, maybe you could pick a cool...

I am having difficulties talking over the phone

I am having difficulties talking over the phone Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing well. So I developed a stutter as a kid, I think it started when I was 12. It was quite bad, on one occasion a tea...

I worked as a cashier and stocker at a store in my teens. I stuttered some, sure. But it helped me build my confidence talking to people and was pretty low-stakes. Worst case I got a funny look from p...

I can't express how comforting your post is. Becoming a lawyer always seemed impossible for someone with a stutter since the profession demands strong rhetorical abilities. From my experience, when y...

People are flaming you and I see why but I don’t want to hop on that bandwagon. Honestly I really appreciate your honestly and introspection on this topic. Even though I personally have only quite a m...

Exactly what I hear. I even tried talking to lawyers but nobody understood and no one even wants to try and learn more....

This is sad. Even though we have skills, we are held back due to stuttering....

Thanks! I'm happy to answer your questions. I was the only male in my Masters class and was the only one who stuttered. I've found it to be a really powerful tool that both parents and patients appr...

This isn't the answer you want to hear but PLEASE gat a job that involves talking, otherwise you are going to be at a severe disadvantage when you go to get a big job in the real world. Strong communi...
