Interviews with a Stutter I am currently 17 and already in college with a fully-paid college scholarship. I am enrolled as a dual enrolled student meaning I only take college classes which count as both high school and college credit. I intend to graduate with a Bachelors in Computer Science by the time I'm 19 which is pretty impressive. The problem is that I have a speech impediment. The severity of it changes day to day, but worsens in stressful situations. To give you an idea, I would say that I have a 2 second pause near the beginning and possibly again sometime in the middle of the sentence where my face tenses up and I am unable to speak. I have always gotten accommodations in school so I could avoid speaking situations, but I am getting to the age where I need to start thinking about applying to a internships and jobs. Although I have yet to apply or interviewed for any jobs, I know that I will have a hard time getting a job due to my stutter. The thing I fear the most is the interview process. I would say that I am pretty smart and I have a lot going for me, just I would like to know how I can express this in an interview without getting rejected. I would also like to know any general tips you can give me on how I can approach an interview with a stutter. Thank you
