I have always studdered, and was taking speach classes all up through my school years. I am doing fairly well, bur will sometimes studder some. People generaly look at you and think you are slow when you studder, so I was wondering if I should share this piece of information during a job interview.
Job Interview Techniques Tips - What Techniques For Job Interviews Do You Need?
Recommended Answer:
Yes, definitely explain it. It's good to be honest to start off, and it will show your employer that you're trustworthy and have the courage to bring up a sensitive topic like that. If you try to hide it, he'll think you have something to hide and your honesty will be questioned.
Trying To Get A Job? Do Away With These Job Interview Booboos
- Just be like "yyyyyo, I sssstutter, but I'm a straight up baller. I'm the best man for the job. I'm not slow or stupid. I know my stuff and I'm a fantastic worker. I trust I can succeed in this environment"
- 'stutter' is the preferred spelling en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuttering
and yeah it might be okay to say something brief and discreet, so the interviewer knows you're not nervous, that it's a normal speech pattern for you - No explanation is necessary, but you need to know it is stutter, not studder. John Stossell on TV used to stutter. Mel Tillis stutters except when singing.
- They'll notice that you stutter, so you might as well address it, by saying "I hope you don't think that I'm slow, just because I stutter. I assure you I'm quite capable of doing well in the job you're interviewing me for."
(Does the job require good spelling skills? Because quite honestly, based on your question here, I'd be more concerned about your incorrect spelling than I would be about your stuttering.)
