> A student with a severe stammer has contacted me about assistance with
> job-hunting and interviews. He is seeking employment in computer
> programming, but is likley to find job interviews particularly difficult
> and stressful and could easily face discrimination in the job market.
>
> I have referred him to our careers advisory service and referred to the
> support available through the employment services disabilities team.
>
> Can anyone suggest specific strategies that may assist him in job
> applications and interviews?
