Getting Back into Work After a Career Break

Many people choose to have a career break for various reasons. Perhaps you have been on maternity leave, or maybe you took some time out due to illness. Or perhaps you just needed some time to yourself to assess your options. Whatever you situation might be, it’s never going to be easy getting back into work after a break from it.

You need to remember that skills you had in your former career and think about new skills you have learnt. Maybe as a new parent you have learnt to be more empathetic and more authoritative. Perhaps you have gained more clarity from time away from work. Focus on the positives rather than the negatives.

You may also want to consider a course to help you get back into work. This can help you gain confidence and put you in touch with employers who want to hire people like you.
