Rough Interview I had a rough day today and wanted to vent on here. I applied for a role I am overqualified for and even studied the role and company inside out before going in. I explained at the beginning I had a stutter and that when first meeting people it is worse than once I am established in the team. My stutter was pretty severe even though its actually been better all month, usually Magnesium and Thiamin helps but for whatever reason today was not my day. I'll be stunned if I am hired. I just keep telling myself to push forward, confidence is key and you can't let obstacles like bad interviews get in way. Keep knocking on that door!
