Stuttering - Would it be a problem? Hello World! I am from India. As you can understand, I am here because of my Stuttering problem and I want your opinions. I have got this condition from my ancestors (and I don't want to blame anyone for my condition). I have worked hard and faced everyday as a challenge to express my self. Many times I was upset about people making fun of me but I always tried to not let it get over my confidence. Everything is fine until now but I am about to enter a testing phase of my life where I am going to be judged and evaluated in every aspect. Yes! I am talking about Interviews. I am about to face interviews and I am really worried about my condition (I don't want to call it a condition, but what choice do I have?) I am bitterly confused in the matter of expressing my condition. That is, if I mention to the interviewer about my stuttering problem. If I should mention, where should I? I mean, in which aspect of the interview process. Thank you. Your opinions will be helpful.
