Stuttering & Job Interview: https://www.freefromstutter.com/blog/...

===========================================

In this video, we’ll cover two topics:
What careers are good for people who stutter and how to choose a job that fits you best.
How to prepare for a job interview. Like it’s happening tomorrow - what do I do?

Here is a recap of this video:

0:37 How to choose a career?

The first thing that comes to our mind is thinking realistically and figuring out the activities and the type of work where we don’t have to speak much. Like becoming a nurse or software developer.

Yet, thinking realistically puts you in a box. Everything outside the box is impossible. Even though you don’t know. You haven’t been there. Thinking realistically puts a limit on what you can do even before you try, before you do anything. It’s quitting before you start.

6:20 You can't as long as you don't like it

That’s the key to true real change. James Earl Jones became one of the most recognizable voices not because he persevered, sacrificed himself, desensitized himself to stuttering, or learned some magic technique. He liked that. He loved that. He wanted to do that.

8:08 "Who not How"

How is a great question, it puts you into a position of finding a way. But there's even a better question than "how." It's "Who?" Who can help me with that? Who has gone that way already and who can teach me?”

9:58 How to prepare for the job interview

10:01 #1 Value Mindset

Anxiety comes up when you don’t quite feel your value. When you don’t really feel you’re a great fit for this position. To feel the confidence you want to feel that you bring value.

So, as an exercise I want you to get in touch with your value. My assignment for you is to write down your achievements, no matter how big or small they are. If you don't have much experience think about what you can and want to do.

11:46 #2 Disclosure

There are two types of disclosure and if you’re a person who stutters you’ll probably end up doing one of them.

The first one is what I call “active positive disclosure.” It’s when you do it proactively and give your stuttering the exact meaning that you want to give. The second one is “passive negative disclosure.” It’s when you don’t disclose proactively, basically, you try to hide it, and you wait till it shows up and then you need to explain it.

Guess which one is better and which one I recommend? Of course, the first one!

A great exercise is to practice disclosure. You want to actually do it. It’s better to physically do it once in a real setting than do it a hundred times in your imagination or talking to the mirror.

14:12 #3 Rejection is a filter

What we are really afraid of is rejection. What if they say “No” because of my stutter? What if they say “No” because of something else? Well, come back to points 1 and 2 and get in touch with your value once again.

The truth is we are going to get a bunch of “NOs.” That’s how life works. No matter if you stutter or not. The real game-change is how you react to those “NOs.” What meaning you’re going to attach to them.

I want you to see rejection as a filter that gets you to the "right" people, "right" place, and the job that is "right" for you. Rejection is a very helpful and healthy thing.

16:33 Choose, Explore & Learn

Don’t forget that you choose the same way as they choose. Ask relevant questions, be clear on your role, responsibilities, and other terms. Feel that you are the active part.

Be sure, there are only two outcomes. Either success or a lesson. It’s your job to see the lesson. Maybe there’s something to improve in your presentation. See this as an exercise. See this as an assignment.

In reality, it is invaluable! Even though I recommend practicing the disclosure and your presentation (and maybe you did), in reality, we mostly learn from these real job interviews, real-life experiences. So, see this simply as an assignment to build your confidence.

Thank you so much for watching! I'd love to know about your experiences with job interviews! Please share and leave a comment!
