Will jobs hire me if I have a speech impediment?

I have social anxiety and a speech impediment. My therapist told me to step out of my comfort zone and engage in social interaction to help me combat my fear of people and social situations. Obviously, I need a job to survive. Will my speech impediment deter people from giving me a chance?

    Actually, you don't have to worry about it that much. Most job applications and resumes are submitted online, so you don't have to talk a whole lot. (If you need help with a resume, I can edit it. I wrote a novel, so it's not hard.

    As for your speech issues, try to use as many one-syllable words as possible. When asked any question, keep your answers short and pointed. You should do well.
