I know what you mean. You've got a lot to offer thats easier to show in person than to hear on the phone. Getting in front of people is definitely better than just applying online and I totally encour...

There are companies out there who are willing to train you and give you a job too. Just make sure truck driving is for you and that you like it. If not, don't bother it will frustrate you. Good luck....

I've been using online applications but I feel applying in person is where I've got most of my previous jobs. I can be charismatic in person, over phones definitely not, but it's something I'm working...

I'm more than happy to do any work, I just find that people negatively react to stuttering sometimes. Even if it seems like a positive interview and they understand... most people would still pick the...

I recently tried self employment. Not being able to say your business name or your even name half the time makes it hard to get a business off the ground. I'm trying to not let the experience burn me,...

I'm a lecturer at a local IT college. At first, I was petrified of actually doing the lectures. After a while I got the hang of it. My students are very accepting and very patient. I haven't heard of ...

I'm a PhD student and as part of my TA I teach a lab once a week and occasionally lecture when the prof can't be there. I stutter openly when I teach. I make no attempt to hide it. I do use some a typ...

I am a college professor who stutters. In my first day of class, during introductions, I tell them I stutter and that if they don't understand something I say I would be happy to repeat. My stutter is...

Hello! I might not be exactly what you were looking for, but I could try and offer advice. First it would be to stick with it! I’ve been a TA for 3 semesters now, the last class I taught being a lectu...

I have a master's degree in anatomical pathology. Had a job in a medical examiner's office for a bit and it was awesome. Then due to budget cuts, I was first to lose my job. That was over two years ag...

This sounds a lot like my situation. It was pretty brutal for me too, took me a year to find work. I dont know how job hunting goes in the UK, but here (US) we use online applications a LOT. Monster.c...

Mate, keep doing what your doing. It took me nearly a year to find my first job. I stuttered like crazy on the phone and I stuttered like crazy during the interview. Guess what? I got the job. It hel...

I didn't have problems finding work. It's really all about who you know IMO. Once you get your foot in the door, its up to you. My stutter isn't that severe compared to some I know, but whenever ...

Finding work with a stutter is a pita. Here in Germany we send the application in the mail. We also write a (small) letter with the application in which we introduce our self and often say why we wan...

Twenty four year old here. I've been stuck in a shell all through my life. Volunteer experience is pretty much non-existent and no job experience. I want to give up looking but I can't. Good luck to...

Having an extremely hard time looking for work with a stutter. Advice? What do the rest of you do?

Having an extremely hard time looking for work with a stutter. Advice? What do the rest of you do? Here in the UK unemployment is pretty bad anyway, but I find myself completely blocking when inquirin...

I'm currently 16 and in high school. I've been stuttering for as long as I can remember. Growing up I was home schooled until 7th grade so that certainly didn't help my people skills. My best friend o...

I speak very fast, even to the point that when I tell people I have a stutter they are surprised and say "nooo you just talk fast." I work in a sales job and help dozens of customers daily so I clearl...

I've always had a stutter, but it was bad when I was a kid; "takes me a long time to pronounce my name" kind of bad. It got way better from ages 9-18, to the point where my friends were surprised to ...

Answering the phone at work was the hardest thing in the world back in my high school days. Something about saying "hello, this is Subway" was just impossible without stretching that 's' for a few sec...
