A career break is a great time to build skills, focus on your wellness, or dedicate time to a service project. Whether you’re on a job hiatus deliberately or involuntarily, you can make the most of it by using your time wisely. If you’re intentional with your time, a career break can have a positive impact on your career and finances. A mid-career break doesn’t have to be a setback to your career progress or financial goals.
Regardless of the circumstances of your break, it can be a time for incredible personal and professional growth. You can use the time off not only to help yourself, but also to serve your community. It can be a chance to realign with your values and refocus on what matters most to you in life.
