It’s not a secret that finding a job after a long break is considered a huge success for almost any applicant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reasons for a \u201cpause in the work process\u201d can be different:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Layoffs or dismissal from a previous job and a long search for a suitable new position.
\u2022 A radical career change with long training and study of special programs, knowledge and skills.
\u2022 Relocation to another city\/country\/region.
\u2022 Maternity and paternity leave, or even extended maternity leave for one or both parents.
\u2022 Recovery from health issues.
\u2022 Taking time off to relax, travel and enjoy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many job seekers worry that after several months or even years, their knowledge and skills may be outdated. So they try to find a \u201csimpler\u201d job, less qualified and, as a result, less paid for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some tips to help you get back into the job market, boost your self-esteem, and create a compelling resume:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Stay informed about developments in your field of interest. Maintain connections with colleagues and former colleagues, follow professional groups and communities on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Create a strong resume, indicating your experience and achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Request recommendations from former colleagues, this is a significant plus to your CV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. In case of self-doubt and fear of inadequacy for the required position, consult a career coach or therapist. This is especially important for the image of a \u201csad housewife\u201d, which definitely can hold you back with the employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Start with a small, if needed – a part-time or remote job. This can help you regain confidence and re-enter the workforce gradually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It would be wrong to say that finding a job after a long break is as easy as if you’d remained continuously employed. It takes emotional and time investment. But it’s quite possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All you need is careful preparation, access to multiple job search resources, belief in yourself and a bit of luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try it and you will definitely succeed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
