A sabbatical or what we commonly called a break between jobs, is quite common an occurence now, and there are quite a handful of us who are forced to take such breaks, for one reason or other. And there is this mistaken notion or perception that a sabbatical is a major mid career calamity, so much so that, once you are through that and get back to a job hunt, you need to work out a whole set of compromises to get back on track.
In reality, that is far from truth, and there are a whole lot of people who get back on track seamlessly, post a career break or sabbatical. Only different between them and the whole other lot who struggle to set up base again is – these seamless career professionals DO NOT MAKE 3 COMMON MISTAKES which most of us do, in a post sabbatical era. Never Undersell, Never Take a Cut in Compensation and Role, and Never Be Perceived as someone who Lacks Confidence.
If you can tread the career path well, by avoiding these post sabbatical mistakes, be rest assured that your Career is taken care of.
