I stutter that's why I am quite reserved so I don't embarrass myself. I need to earn a living. Business or job. Please be generous to share ideas

I stutter too, but it's hardly noticed cause I have work on my confidence. Stuttering is at its worst when you're scared, filled with anxiety or uncomfortable in a particular condition. Learn to be in control of how you feel and you'll see tremendous improvement in your speech.

Apart from being an employee, there are millions of businesses you can do here in Nigeria.. Check my signature.. Wishing you the best of luck.

Hi VivianSteph, I understand how you feel and your burning desire to secure a job because I've once been there.

My first interview was a big flop. I remember it like it happened yesterday. I knew after the 5 minute interview that I wasn't going to be hired. It was just impossible.

I don't stutter but I talk too fast sometimes. I know a lot of employees who stutter. Therefore, stuttering can't impede your chances of getting employed. If employers hire people based on written English only I can assure you that you've earned yourself a job from this thread alone. Superb writing.

But writing alone won't get you the job. You have to communicate orally as well. I'm shy but I maintain eye contact as much as I can. Practice interview scenarios with people around you. In my case I had my 8 year old nephew read out frequently asked interview questions to me and he'll laugh at me when I did "Uhm... Err..." and so on because I wanted to stop it.

I practiced also not to just say a yes or no and keep mute. I tried to make it engaging, more interactive. It helped me to get out of awkward situations. Before my improvement, I used to wonder why some people stayed longer than others during an interview, I found out that the candidates who were more expressive controlled the session. You too can do that.

When next you meet someone new, after saying hi, introduce yourself by telling the person your first name. At your next interview, after your interviewer introduces himself or herself, say thank you for the opportunity to meet with me *insert name* and smile. You'll get a smile that will ease the tension in the room and make you an excellent fit.

Little secret; the person interviewing you is a potential colleague, so relax and enjoy the sessions.

Thank you so much for this...really helpful

Thank you so much. I am currently working on improving myself confidence.

Face the wall and talk to the wall at least twice daily... Do it for 3 days and watch your confidence level increase... Let people laff at you doing it... You would forever be confident.
