Session: Advancing in your career during and after a professional break
In my speech, I will discuss career breaks, including their causes, consequences, and possible solutions for career advancement after long professional breaks. Women are more susceptible than men to taking long career breaks for childcare, eldercare, relocation, and other reasons. I will mention the issue that over a hundred thousand of female foreigners living in the USA are facing each year: due to their visa dependency on their spouses and the lack of a work permit, they cannot get remunerated jobs in the USA despite having advanced degrees in many cases. I will provide examples and ideas of how to utilize your time off from work to develop your skills and follow your passions. I will also provide tips on how to stay mentally healthy and make the most out of your career break. And last but not least, I will guide you through the hurdles on your path to return back to work.Key Takeaways
- How to advance in your career during a career break
- How to immerse yourself in a new environment
- How to enhance your skills and follow your passions
- How to make the most from your free time
