Getting back into HR after a 12-month career break...

Reena

Hi, I have worked in HR (various roles and different companies) for the last 5 years. I’m considering taking a 12 month career break due to family needs. I know no one can predict the future but just wondering how difficult will it be to return to the sector after a break? Unfortunately, current employer cannot accomodate remote working, which is impacting my family life. I don’t want to resign but I have to prioritise my family. I appreciate any guidance or experience anyone may have. Thank you.

  • Hi Reena! I have been on a Career break since one year for family matters as well, after working continuously for almost 20 years. So I understand your concern, and if you decide going through this way and quiting your current employer, I advice you remaining active within HR enviroment. From HR communities, to participating in webminars and trainings, and - an important detail that I failed with - keeping an active and strategic participation on LinkedIn, can demonstrate that you are still active and updated.
    At the moment I am seeking for a new job, and even though I kept involved in some webminars and self-studying, having a glance for example through my LinkedIn profile seams I disapeared from job market. In any way, recovering the rithum in the job market is question of strategy and organization, and something that I can tell you is that I am not even 1% regreted of my decision. Just would ajusted better my strategies.
    Hope I could help you.
    Wishing all best for you and your family.
