But Take The Time Anyway
-
It really sucks that any extended time away from work, whatever the reason for them, can be damaging to your job prospects and to your self-confidence. You take maternity leave, or time out to deal with health issues, or just a year for a break, and studies show that it reduces your confidence. You feel like you fell behind, and you have to explain yourself to prospective employers if your old job's gone. They say you should think about your past success and connect with former colleagues. Have you had to deal with time away, and how did you recover, if you did? (BBC)
