Welcome the Career Break Coach blog.

A Career Break is a period of time taken out of your normal routine to do something completely different such as travel, do some volunteer work, gain a new skill or a professional qualification, renovate your house or simply work on your tan.

Career Break Ideas!

Thinking about taking a Career Break but don't know what to do?


Here are some ideas to get you started -

- Travel - experience new cultures, customs, religions, food, languages and meet the local people

- Volunteer work - give back to society and do something meaningful such as conservation work, working with animals, build homes and schools or spend time in an orphanage

- Learn a new skill - become a ski instructor, improve your cooking skills or take acting classes

- Move abroad and work part time whilst immersing yourself in a new culture

- Gain a professional qualification - add something extra to your CV and get that promotion.

- Learn a new language like Italian, French or Arabic and impress your friends!

- Stay at home and renovate your house or do those DIY jobs that never seem to get done

- Undertake a degree - this may lead to you a new and exciting career

- Write that book you've always wanted to!  There may be a 'Mills and Boon' author in you yet!

Why choose just one?  Combine a few and really make your Career Break something to remember.
