Its sucks not to be able to speak your mind with fluency in job interviews. From last 1 year I'm trying to crack a entry level role but I'm unable to. Companies didn't reject coz i was stuttering. I was rejected for poor answers i gave because i was busy covering my stutter. I focus on- 1) My accent( which is still not a big problem) 2) Not to stutter 3) Maintain the Quality of answer. This focus on 3 areas in 30 seconds after the question is thrown at me is extremely hard for me. As soon as I stutter one syllable, the panic alarm goes off in my mind. That's when I focus completely on 2nd point and other points are ignored by me. That's where i get rejected. If anyone has cracked this problem or has different strategy to handle this please help me out.
