I have my dream job. Im an anti-money laundering analyst. I have to talk a lot during investigations, team meetings, trainings, client meetings, etc.  There was 2 things I realized: 1. Im always going to stutter 2. No one is as hard on me about my stuttering than me. I learned to relax and accept my stuttering and relax…oh and did I say relax! Everybody knows I stutter and I don't apologize for it. My managers, my colleagues, the people I investigate…they just have to deal with it!! I took on a “I dont give a f*ck attitude. The “content” of what Im saying is whats most important. Ive stuttered all over interviews. They’ll either hire me or they wont. Most HR professionals are good about not judging for the stutter and focus on the content. But I did have a job I interviewed for and I knew for a fact that they didn't hire me because of my stutter. I interviewed for the Dept of Homeland Security. But the job involved being an expert witness. DHS said stuttering during criminal trial could cause them to lose a case because of the way a jury might react or perceive me due to the stuttering. Thats fair. I wasn't mad. Disappointed. But not mad. I found the job I currently have and I love it! And its still in the criminal justice field just like I wanted. Just got for it!! Relax. Be yourself. And go for it!!! You can do it! Just be good at whatever you do. You’ll get respected. People respect me in my job. Im a go-to person for a lot of people. They dont give a damn that I stutter. They know I’ll get the job done. So have confidence in yourself. People look past the stutter when you show confidence.
