Thanks for this post - good things can happen when you look at the positive sides of the stutter and openly share your experiences. I always try to mention my stutter in the first few minutes of a job interview (as it's usually apparent I stutter) but also mention that it is worse in stressful situations like in job interviews (usually there's a quick laugh) and that I don't let it get in my way and still find ways to effectively communicate with staff and clients if I'm having a particularly non-fluent day. After getting this out, I'm usually more relaxed (and the interviewer is too) Several years ago, I was interviewing for a Tax Manager position at a boutique public accounting firm and the interviewer (one of the firm partners) was so interested in learning more about my stuttering experiences (both good and bad) and my reactions to the obstacles stuttering presented. He recognized how tough stuttering can be in high school/university and in the professional world. He was so impressed with what I had achieved on my resume despite the stutter as well as my "calm and positive presence" that he offered me the position within the first 15 minutes of the interview (granted, I was also well-qualified). Stuttering puts us through a lot day in and day out, but it can contribute positively to our lives in some ways.
