How do you get a job when you're mute?

I'm a minor and still in school so I have some time left before this impacts my life but how do you actually get a job? I don't know how much of it works but from what I know, there's usually an interview process which typically involves verbal communication and from what I've heard there are also a lot of unwritten social rules to follow to make a good impression.

Maybe I just have a lot of internalised ableism but I just don't see​​​​​​​​​​​​ why an employer would choose to hire someone who's mute when there are people who can speak with the same qualifications​​​. I hear a lot of people complaining about how difficult it is to get a job at the moment so that's really fueling my worry for this too.

Just how do you actually get a job when you can't speak? When people who can speak are already having difficulty because of how competitive it is? ​​​​​
