It’s not about starting over if you took a break to care for children, take care of yourself, be healthy or for any other reason. This is a realistic strategy for the recovery of skills, selection of the right job, and overcoming the resume problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

One year, three years or 10 years of a career break<\/a> seems to wipe the slate clean. It didn’t. In reality, what actually transpired over these years is that your skills in working professionally were not exercised, whereas other skills organisation, negotiation, crisis management and patience under pressure were. It’s not a challenge of building from scratch; it’s a challenge of demonstrating to an employer what you have and what’s still fresh in your mind, and what’s rusty and needs to be refreshed.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a practical guide to doing exactly that realistically, and without pretending the gap doesn’t exist.<\/span><\/p>\n
