Hmmm, whatever works, I guess! However, I oppose telling people about your stutter without them asking about it, right at the outset when meeting someone for the first time or for an interview. I personally feel that you're allowing your stuttering define who you are and what the most salient feature of your personality is. The truth is that for me, stuttering has not defined who I am, I'm not where I am because/despite stuttering. It doesn't define me. Rant over, I didn't mean to belittle you or anything.
