Hi J. From time to time the answer to most of our puzzling questions are around us. When you transitioned the service, ACAP provided you with awesome materials to prepare for interviews. If you still have them review them once again.
In addition you were able to remain on the shortlist. So keep doing what brought you there initially. Stay confident and bold.

All the best.
Ghislain.

You can also utilize Linkedin's free "Advanced search" feature to search for contacts that are also members of LinkedIn groups of which you are a member, and also other criteria.

For example, there search for members of the "Veteran Mentor Network" group on LinkedIn that are employed at the VA or "Veterans Administration", perhaps in a similar role or near the location to which you are applying. Experiment with various criteria, including keyword, title, etc.
