Many of the most skilled and capable professionals in the workforce today are military veterans — yet too many find themselves underemployed after transition. Not because they lack talent, but because there is a communication gap between how veterans describe their experience and how hiring managers interpret it.

In this powerful and practical conversation, Tricia Kim, Transition Assistance Program Manager at the United States Air Force Academy, and Kevin Preston, Retired U.S. Army Colonel and leader of Veterans Programs for one of the nation’s largest media companies, share how veterans can confidently translate their service and how employers can better understand and value veteran talent.

You’ll learn:

• Why underemployment occurs during the military-to-civilian transition

• How to translate military experience into business language for impact

• How leaders and hiring professionals can better evaluate veteran skill sets

• How to tell your story confidently — without underselling or overselling

For Veterans & Transitioning Service Members:

• Communicate your experience clearly and confidently

• Identify and highlight your most transferable accomplishments

• Position yourself for roles that align with your strengths and purpose

For Recruiters, Hiring Managers & HR Leaders:

• Recognize high-value leadership, adaptability, and resilience in veteran resumes

• Ask more effective interview questions

• Access an exceptional talent pool often overlooked

This episode is for anyone navigating military transition, talent acquisition, leadership development, or veteran hiring— and for every leader who believes in building strong teams through empathy, clarity, and understanding. _____________________ Links from this episode Executive Coaching Translating Your Military Skills To Civilian Workplace
