What’s your job & how did you get it?
Content
What’s your job & how did you get it? I’m a new graduate currently interviewing for a professional job that requires a lot of talking. I’m feeling so defeated because I know my stutter and blocking is holding me back so much during the interviews I’ve had so far. I’m worried if I’ll ever get a job. All that schooling. Letting my parents and partner down. Just feeling lost. If I ever get a job- how will I perform? So terrifying. Would love to hear your stories about your job, interviewing, & career experience! I stutter more when I’m anxious, during social things, or specific words. 98% of the time, I can talk to my partner and talk to myself completely clearly. It’s so weird. Thank you all
