Are you prepared to answer the common interview questions?

Stepping into a civilian interview after years of military service can feel unfamiliar, and many veterans struggle with how to talk about their experience in a way that matches what employers expect. This episode breaks that down in a clear, practical way.

Join Cathy and Misty as they share the common interview questions and how you should answer them.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• How to shift your mindset before the interview
Why you’re already qualified if you’re sitting in the interview, and how to approach the conversation as a professional equal.

• The right way to answer the questions veterans struggle with most
Tell me about yourself.
Why did you leave your last job?
Why are you interested in this company?
How does your experience fit this role?

• How to talk about your military experience without oversharing your biography
Use the value equation to explain what you do, how you do it, and the results you’ve delivered.

• Why research matters and the kind that actually helps
Going beyond the “About Us” page so you can show genuine interest and tie your answers to what the company needs.

• Smart questions to ask the interviewer
The ones that reveal priorities, challenges, expectations, and the reality of the role.

• Real-world advice most people won’t say out loud
Why authenticity matters, why the right company won’t be scared off by your honest answers, and how a quick thank-you email with a 30–90 day plan can set you apart.

If you’re a military service member or veteran preparing for a civilian interview, this episode gives you the clarity, language, and confidence you need to show up strong.
