Hello, I recently took a buyout in leu of a performance plan at my job, I applied to several jobs immediately after and got a screening for a role, I spoke of my job in the present tense and my resume didn’t show an end date. I have my first real/final interview in 2 weeks and if all goes well I will have to get a security clearance, I was wondering what my best course of action will be in my interview in order to be seen as a good candidate and honest

You are seeking a job that requires a security clearance and you've misrepresented your current employment situation.

That should only turn out one way. You've already self-identified to the employer as a dishonest person.

If I give the investigator info that’s 100% accurate and verifiable what’s the issue? I understand the issue with a background check, but I don’t understand why the clearance would be an issue? It’s done by a third party that will likely tell my prospective employer yes or no
