Taking a break from career

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

I'm in the process of changing jobs, and a key criteria for me was the ability to take some time between roles. It means that my new employer has to wait a bit longer for me - but they are happy to do so in view of the circumstances. If you're in a position to do so, I wonder if that might be the best approach - to secure a job before you resign, but with a long lead time?

Good luck!

Hi Nina thanks for the message. The new job I have been looking for do ask people to abroad ASAP! Maybe I do need to communicate with them

It might be worth indicating that you have a longer notice period/later possible start date than in your contract - so that if that gap is a deal breaker, they know it up front.

Good luck.
