I'm feeling a bit discouraged in my job search. I was bullied in my last role and ended up leaving and been unemployed for 7 months now.

In my search for new opportunities, I've encountered some challenges. I have a stutter, which can sometimes come across as a lack of preparation during interviews. I’m always prepared tho.

I have an interview tomorrow that I’m excited for. Is there anyone who’s been in a similar situation and can offer advice?

Side note: My stutter is not noticeable in every discussions, but it’s activated in job interviews.

Make sure when you have your discussions with the recruiter you explain this.
