Transitioning out of the military often means facing a hiring process that went fully digital while you were serving, where one job can draw thousands of applicants and a great resume still gets lost. On this episode of 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘂𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲, Greg Banks sits down with 𝗣𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗹, co-founder of 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹, to talk about how free, expert interview coaching helps veterans and military spouses turn the interview into their advantage.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: - Why networking, not the resume, is the number one job-search skill - What real interview prep looks like, from the STAR format to handling mistakes - How 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 pairs candidates with coaches from PwC, Amazon, Oracle, and more - How to get started, and how to volunteer as a coach
𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿: Veterans, military spouses, and anyone transitioning into the corporate world, plus professionals who want a high-impact way to give back.
𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 + 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: 𝗣𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗹 is an engineer and former management consultant who co-founded 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 in 2017. With a team of two and roughly 130 volunteer coaches, 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 serves about 1,000 veterans and military spouses a year, and recently became a partner program within 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸.
