Winning the Interview: Structuring Answers That Land Offers
Hello everyone!
I’m taking another week off from podcasting to focus on you know what. 📚
This is always a great opportunity to remind you all of the amazing team I work with at US VetWealth, along with our partners such as Blue Water Advisors, to serve our senior military leaders!
Check out Scott and Mike’s latest live show on Military Retirement Blueprint!

In this continuation of our interview strategy discussion, Scott and Mike go beyond preparation and into execution.
Senior military leaders bring deep experience to the table—but civilian hiring managers evaluate differently than promotion boards or command selections.
In Part 2, we unpack:
How to avoid over-answering
How to translate military impact into business results
Why clarity beats complexity
The importance of conversational delivery
How to maintain momentum—even if you don’t get the job
If you’re already interviewing—or preparing to—this episode will help you tighten your message, increase clarity, and communicate at the level expected of senior leaders.

About Military Retirement Blueprint
After decades of service, transitioning from active duty isn’t just about landing your next job—it’s about defining success on your own terms.
If you’re a senior military leader (O-5, O-6, or beyond), you already know your transition looks different from standard advice.
You’re stepping from a structured promotion system into an at-will job market where networking, positioning, and clarity matter more than rank.
At Military Retirement Blueprint, we provide real conversations about:
Career strategy and interviews
Financial planning and retirement decisions
Expanding your professional network
The mindset shifts required to succeed outside the military
Join Mike Wallace and Scott Tucker—who have guided over a thousand senior leaders through transition—as they share practical insight to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and career strategy.
