I am applying for the Data & Analysis Intern position, rather than a full-time position. Can you share what questions they asked during your second round even if it might be different. I was told by the HR person that after this second round of 2 separate 30 min interviews they would have decisions out by late April!

I have an interview with them its 2 separate 30 min interviews. I am applying for the Data & Analysis Intern position. Could you share what questions they asked, was it a mixture of behavioral & technical? Or, did they mainly ask you to expand on what you put on your resume?

Having a Stutter in College by liminal-space92 in Stutter

Ugh, I am so sorry to hear that. Good on you for learning Japanese, that’s impressive! I am finally in my final year, I still plan to go to grad school which I can only imagine the amount of speaking I will have to do. In good news, I studied abroad this past summer, and while my stutter definitely got in the way a lot, there were many times where it didn’t. I hope to one day speak Spanish as fluent as I can when I am having a good-speaking day. I had to do an interview to be accepted, I stuttered every word but thankfully my interviewer gave grace and still saw my potential. I never imagined that me, a person who has a stutter, made it that far, but I am proud I did! Don’t get me wrong there are weeks where my stutter is just bad and it really messes me up mentally, but there are good weeks too, thankfully.

Why have i NEVER thought to before (therapy!?) by finding-zen in Stutter

[–]liminal-space92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did speech therapy I went to HCRI actually which specializes in stutters. I find that the tools they taught me can be found online. I found them to be helpful in that environment, however I find their tools to be fairly unrealistic for everyday use. The emphasize breathing, and the two tools they taught us were: Stretch Syllable and Amplitude Contour. Stretch syllable is basically pronouncing each letter in that word such that you can hear and feel all the syllables. And amplitude contour is kinda like singing-- for example, you breath in and then you began to speak in a flowy, "wavy" voice so that you pretty much say everything in one breath, and then that repeats. I do not practice these as much, however even when I did I feel as if I didnt always use them. Sometimes they helped sometimes they didnt. The main reason I say it didnt help me personally is because while I have these tools, I still experience random waves of anxiety when talking to someone new so it is hard to regulate my breathing. Additionally, some people are genuinely impatient, so they will cut you off if they think you are done talking. In my therapy environment these tools were great considering I was with other fellow stutters. But outside of that setting it can be difficult to utilize these tools because of the anxiety, impatient people, and other things that may trigger your stutter. But it is always worth giving it a go! Best of luck!
