Had a really cool interviewer today After months of botching job interviews because of this damn stutter that would restrict me from answering the questions properly and feeling judgement and embarrassment from a lot of the interviewers I’ve had recently. I finally had an interviewer who expressed how impressed he was that I told them ahead of time about my stutter and also told me they encourage people to open up about any struggles they have if it’ll help them. I stuttered pretty badly at points during the interview but he made me so much more comfortable that it went a lot better than all my interviews. Got a call back an hour later to be told I made it to the next round. I’ve been mentally exhausted from this stutter these last few months looking for a new job and to get this feedback from a dream job of mine is huge. I’ve finally realised if we just keep being persistent we can push through this damn curse.
