Use it to your advantage. Mention it before your interview, mention it at the start of you have to (don't go on about it of course!). I tend to joke about mine saying you will get all the answers you ...

Hi, I recently got my job offer, even though I stammer during the interview (I told them initially). I am not saying recruiters are also supportive during interviews, but you have to apply anyways, an...

Apply for jobs, don't be afraid. I am also a Comp Sci graduate (6 years ago). Interviewers will make accommodations for you, if you say you need them. If you can prove, you can write good code thats a...

My friends are all chill about it. They obviously know I have it and accept it, they help me out when they can by helping me finish sentences. They never really had anything negative about it, it was ...

I think you are underestimating yourself and what you can do. I am a family nurse practitioner. I see patients in a clinic settings. I have had talk with patients and families about life, the future,...

I didn't have much time to answer earlier, so pardon my brevity. I wanted to encourage you to correct the situation sooner rather than later. You WILL BE HAPPIER when you stop letting your stutter di...

This! Call and see what they can do. Please don’t live with a constant and costly reminder of one bad day if you can help it. The folks at the office obviously understand the importance of having work...

Sorry I neglected the 'who made fun of my stuttering' part and I misinterpreted your question as 'giving stuttering to someone else who is innocent'. I choose 'Yes', instead of 'No'...

How do you know when you have confidence in your stutter? From what i read its putting yourself in situations where you're going to stutter, I work in retail as a cashier so would that count? Cause I...

For me, once I've stuttered in a conversation and they ask me about it, most of them are very understanding and even supportive of it. There are some douchebags out there that just outright bully you ...

Yes, it’s a difficult program. It requires an increasing amount of courage and commitment! Especially the first few months and sets of contacts. But I have been seeing the results. Not only in my spee...

Thanks so much! I’m going to talk to him today as I still feel a little down over what happened...
