I had the same problem, I'm not exactly the greatest looking either im 16 and I've been dating a beautiful girl for a few months now. But I told her that I stutter before we really got the chance to t...

"before i answer that, i would just like to let you know that i do have a speech impediment so will probably need some extra time to answer." just say that after the first question (assuming you havn...

Thank you for the encouraging post concernedHR. I have met many recruiters who shared your enthusiasm, but also others who obviously passed me over because of a stutter, discounting qualifications and...

My advice is to tell your teachers you stutter even before classes start. I have a form letter that I send out to all my professors warning them that I stutter and also letting them know that I have...

Thanks for the advice, even now I still feel doubt, whether I should disclose the truth before the interview, but now you made it clear it is better to inform them before so they assess rightly...

Hi, yes it might be a good idea to mention it in a light hearted way. I sometimes drop it in to conversation if I just had a bad stammer. Just make sure you don't mention it in a negative way, 'ok I ...

I dont see the point in sending another email. Sounds like you want them to confirm your worst fear and tell you they didnt pick you because of your stutter. Well they're not going to do that and they...

OP here, well, I did end up sending a follow-up email asking for an in-person interview, and not too long after that I got an email telling me essentially that they didn't want to see me again, wish m...

I would never say a disclaimer. I actually use it pretty often when the question about adversity or struggle in my life. It's gold!...

I was in the exact same situation as you a few months ago. For the job that I got, all I had was a phone interview. I didn't bring up the stutter until it actually happened. All I said was "Sorry, I h...

I think opening the conversation with a disclaimer might be a good idea. It's not like your stutter is going to stay a secret, they're going to find out eventually. Probably sooner than later. Openin...

Its worked for me. I felt I'd probably be stuttering in the job interview, and I didn't know what kind of experience the interviewer had had with persons who stutter, so I felt it'd be a good idea to ...

No problem, happy to at least try and help. I have a few suggestions but I don't know if they relate to other people: 1) A LOT of people don't know what a stammer is. So even a post about the frustra...

Hah seriously that is strange. It's great to see someone so similar to me have this problem resolved, it's going to really motivate me to do the same. As for holding it in, I definitely used and it re...

This is really only a decision you can make, but I have a couple thoughts 1) Can you maintain the accent throughout the entire interview? What are they going to think if the way you talk suddenly cha...

I always tell about my stuttering beforehand. The problem I find is that people dont know what it actualy means, at least not for me anyway. The main problem for me isnt that I get stuck on words, its...

Does she know that you stutter? If not, maybe broadcast that before you two get together. That way, she knows what to expect. Maybe that will take some of the onus off of your stutter. If you both...

Are you going to advertise that you stutter at the start? I want to say that stutter doesn't hold you back from speaking your mind, you can still speak your mind, you'll just do it while stuttering. ...

As you suggested, I'll email them that I am a stutterer and prove them I am the best candidate. Thank you for response....

If you're going for a permanent/full time job, I suggest explaining your situation. It really really does take a lot of stress out of the situation. I explained how I was working to get over that obst...
