Career breaks, extended periods away from your job, can do wonders for you and your career. Unlike a vacation, a career break is typically at least one month long, with some lasting upwards of one or two years.
Beyond giving you some time off to relax, why would you want to take a career break? Well, a lot of reasons.
Career breaks can open the door to travel, give you the time to learn new skills, or give you clarity on your job and career trajectory. Some people even use a career break as the time they need to finally launch their own business. In short, career breaks can be used for virtually anything.
