I briefly let them know I stuttered and spent the rest of the interview looking as enthusiastic about the role as I could. I was also open to any questions they may have about. This is for a professio...

I'd just stutter and use my voice except for times when I'd play an audio that just says quickly "that wasn't the end of my sentence. Let me finish." And I'd clarify that that is how I'd communicate ...

No need to limit yourself to using a keyboard to get your points across, you have a voice regardless of your stutter. You don’t wanna show a weakness before you even get the job, you need to imagine i...

I used to laugh it off and say "something like that", but now I'll say something like "it's a speech impediment actually" (a phrase I can thankfully get out fluently) to which they usually apologize a...

I fucking hate when ppl say this. At one point I actually played along to make them feel more comfortable? The last time this was said to me was by a customer at the cafe I worked at, and I told him...

I see this as a really nice comment to make. They can see you’re struggling so making a comment like that can help break the ice. It also gives you the opportunity to through in “I’ve got a stutter ...

I sympathise with you entirely. I have a severe stutter. My priority for calls where I do not know everyone is to introduce myself as a stutterer. If I try to hide the stutter, everything becomes wors...

For me personally in a lot of my job interviews (including my current job that I have worked at for 8 years) I tell them right away that I stutter. This instantly takes the fear and edge off. No jud...

No, but if you are suspected of a crime try and let the officers know about your stutter, so they don't think you're just not answering them or something. I sometimes wear a medical bracelet to point ...
