The teacher laughing is unacceptable. I would go and talk to him. Maybe write him an email if you are more comfortable that way. You save the next student from embarrassment. Chances are he didn't kno...

Yeah, if you do get the second interview, bring up that you stutter in the beginning. Tell them it's normally rare and doesn't interfere with your work, just occasionally means it takes you a little ...

Does the friend know you stutter? The teacher probably didn't know you had a speech impediment and thought you were being nervous and didn't know what to say. I'm sure if people knew then they wouldn...

Yes, you say, "you guys might not know this, but I have a speech impediment, it's called stuttering. I can't control it." Usually this puts people in their place. They feel embarrassed for laughing...

I agree with people. You have to fight you ego which will try force you to be fluent. Be upfront. Also if it helps. Really do your homework. Read about the company, about the job, know yourself, your ...

It sounds like they're a bunch of punk ass kids getting off at making offensive claims and really hurting you. You don't have to prove your stutter to them or anyone. I don't know the context of the o...

Be up front about it as much as you can, request in person interviews, and don't be afraid to mention that you have an actual *disability* if companies give you shit about it. It's illegal to discrimi...
