I dont like putting to much empathis on the stuttering. It doesent define you that much. For me it would me more like "Hope your not in a rush cause i stutter a lot. Deal with it"...

I feel as if a lot of people assume that stuttering means you're anxious, scared, etc...which obviously don't play well in an interview. One strategy I've used is to bring up my stutter in a funny way...

I stutter as well and have issues in interviews. Interviewers usually tell me to calm down. It's infuriating. I'm not nervous, I'm frustrated I can't talk normally. They talked about offering me the j...

Yep, force myself. No matter how awkward or hard it is. Btw, I block and stutter, probably a 80%/20% split. If you feel like complete silence is too awkward (20s is nothing, people can tell when you'...
