I'm a digital designer. About ten years ago when I was just about to graduate I got really down as I had convinced myself that no-one would hire me. The industry was really competitive and looking around at all my classmates, I could not see why someone would hire a stammerer instead of one of these 'fluent' people. I ended up talking to two lecturers about it. They were so nice and supportive - saying that it had never crossed their minds that I would be unemployable. Their kind words really helped give me the confidence to just apply and see what happens. Like all stammerers - I was soooo freaked out about interviews - and yeah, my stammer was pretty bad. But bingo - in my first interview I was hired. I suppose we are all very highly attuned to fluency - we crave it so much that we expect others feel the same. But talent and presentation always seem to beat fluency. If you come across as someone who knows their stuff, has passion, is easy-going and nice ... most people don't care about the other stuff. People want to work with nice people... and a stammer does not change that. Ten years later, I have worked in the best agencies around the city and now oversee a team as a Design Lead. I have pretty much always got the job I interviewed for. Sometimes if I stammered really badly, I would stop and acknowledge it... in a humorous way almost.. just so it didn't become the elephant in the room. This helps to remove tension in the air and it always made me less nervous / get past the bad blocks. The worst thing to do it pretend you don't stammer. Give them a wry smile and say something witty if you can. Then they know that your a pretty strong, balanced individual! :) My last piece of advice is to GO FOR YOUR DREAM FIRST... if you don't get hired, then go to the next plan. You don't want to spend your life asking yourself "What if" .... that's what will really drive you to distraction! For sure I have had ridiculously embarrassing days - I often think about writing a comedy sitcom about the things we do to survive stammering!!! Stammering will always affect the small stuff we do. (I order a cappuccino instead of an Americano most days... :P ) But don't let it affect the really big stuff. The job you do is a big thing. Follow your passion and you will get to the good stuff :)
