Taking a break from career

Paula

Dear all,

Does anyone thinks taking a break( couple of months off) from the career would be a good idea, for the last few years I have bearly had time off due to Covid - felt like running a marathon! Would having a break impact CV and job hunting? 


thank you in advance

  • Hi Paula,

    My views are the same as everyone else's really: as long as you're confident in explaining it and have the money to see you through, then I think it'd be a lovely privilege to be able to take a bit of a personal break. I do think you'll very much have to own it though and I'd make sure that you were clear in your mind about what you were using the time for: it'd be a waste if you spent it stressed about finding a new role.

    I also think it shows great awareness of the importance of a work/life balance and focus on health and wellbeing (which I also think will be an asset for a new employer)!
