How to Interview with a Stutter: Part 3 Speaking Up!

We just finished discussing how a little dedicated practice everyday changes your speech patterns, habits, identity, and more. Well this is the same for interviews and especially before big interviews. It is absolutely critical that you practice speaking after you have chosen a model and have been modeling at home.

We started with the idea of visualization and identifying who your speech model is, well then the next step is practicing. You can practice at home first, and use the person or figure that you chose to model after, and then you take this show on the road. Some of the best practicing you can do for interviewing is actually having one to one conversations with people. Whether they are loved ones or friends or just asking someone you met in a coffee shop if they do not mind talking with you. Speaking frequently and becoming more comfortable in your speaking is going to ensure that you are not thinking about how words come from your mouth, but what the words are. That is what is going to impress interviewers and get you jobs.

Once you have started practicing your speaking places and with new and different people, you can start speaking up more regularly. Speak up about everything, without the fear of being silenced, or the fear that what you are saying does not want to be heard. As you gain confidence in your practicing speaking, you start to really speak about what your wants and desires are. You know where this is really going to help you? When you are in an interview situation and they ask the question most people feel uncomfortable with, and that is do you have any expectations? What are your expectations?

Your expectations, your wants, your desires, this is your chance to speak up and communicate what you really want from this interview. Remember that the fact you are having an interview is half the battle. You ARE qualified to be there. You will succeed at the work. Communicate what you really want and what you want your future to look like.
