This week on The Reboot Era:
HR insiders Laura Browne and Barbara Limmer show you how to stop guessing and start translating interviews—so your answers are authentic, on-target, and memorable. Perfect for anyone in a career reboot, navigating layoffs, or gearing up for a high-stakes loop.

You’ll learn:

  • Why most candidates think they “nailed it” (and why interviewers disagree).
  • The question behind the question—how to tailor without memorized scripts.
  • The STAR method the Reboot Era way (convert vague prompts into real wins).
  • Deconstructing job descriptions fast—especially for next-day interviews.
  • The 15-minute post-interview self-eval to improve without spiraling.
  • Layoff storytelling: the negative-sandwich answer that shows momentum.
  • Conversations > applications: building the network that builds offers.
  • Extrovert and introvert paths to “positive and prepared.”
  • The Amazon “folders” prep story—and how to adapt it for your next loop.
