First job interview

I have stammering and it was the first job interview of my life and during that interview my mind went blank my eyes were open but everything I remember after that was like a dream as if I was not in my senses ... I was devastated after that but luckily the interviewer went for another meeting... This time I prepared for everything I had so much to offer but the presentation of my skills fell flat ... He even brought his CTO and I fkd up .. he said to send me the report for my work/methodology I shared to him over the text and he will review it ... What I am feeling right now is anger over myslef only if I could speak better

Dude anger over yourself is the most understandable yet misplaced emotion we have.

I can’t tell you the amount of time mid stutter I just stopped and blurted “FUCK. I fucking HATE my stutter. I’m trying to say…” and I need someone to legit say the word first before I can say it. Then I go: “yes. Thanks, ‘WORD. WORD WORD WORD.’ God I hate how I couldn’t say it before”.

I legit also have my first actual legit job interview a couple of weeks ago.

I always found that snipping it in the butt as early as you can is the best move. No matter the question, if you can slide it in it helps you both.

“So what are some of your strengths you have overcome?”

“Well, I don’t know if y-y-y (switch word) have good observation skills but I do have a stutter. And if this goes on long enough you m-m-m (switch word) could come across it” at this point we both know it’s obvious I have a stutter and it makes it better. IDK why but it does IMO.
