When Is The Right Time To Take A Career Break? by RuddyFusion(m): 7:02am On Apr 29, 2023 |
My people.....have you ever taken a career break? When is the right time for one to take a career break and is it workable in a society like Nigeria where everything seems hard and most jobs are not easy to come by.,,...... I'm asking because pleasure at work now has become so intense and it's taking other things away from my life..,..that my regular leave days will not suffice..... But how do I explain that I just walked away? How I'm sure that I can quickly get something else once ready to return to work? Would advice will be highly appreciated 3 Likes 1 Share |

This thing called career, does it really exist? Just look for what will serve the masses while putting money in your pocket 46 Likes 4 Shares |

RuddyFusion:In an unstable economy like Nigeria, your focus must be economic stability and to achieve that you must understand how to use the principle of entry and exit. Know when to enter a place and when to leave, but before you leave ensure you have maximize your opportunities. 1 It all begins will having a purposeful vision and a 7-10 years plan of progression That will make you develop more skills to be strategic in your field or choice of endeavor so that even when you are silent you are noticed 2.

RuddyFusion: Village people have made a sculptor of you. They have started manipulating the head. If you take a break, you will break down completely. Don’t try it. Don’t let your village people to rejoice at your downfall. J did it once, I regretted it.

I would suggest you stage your vacation as a means to free yourself off the pressures in bit. An alternative is to get another job and tell them you will be resuming maybe two months from now. Resign from your job to give you enough time to relax before transitioning into your new job. 4 Likes |

I remember when I resigned my job at the bank trying to get into tech. Saved up some 1m and designed Tshirts for amazon in their merch program. 8 months down.. The 1m had depleted down to less than 100k and the amazon gig wasn't paying that much. Omoh. I con dey see shege small small.... Luckily for me, before the shege metamorphosed into shege banza, I secured another job with a small financial institution. Career break! Save a lot of money. A lot of it. The Nigerian labour market isn't like abroad where you can get jobs easily. Make sure you have a side hustle or business that can take care of you. Not one one kobo... I mean a side gif that can pay your rent, feed your family and you still have small change left. Else..... Career break go turn to compulsory early retirement. 35 Likes 2 Shares |

Career break isn't a common thing in Nigeria because of unemployment. It's common in the western world because people need to rest and do some other stuff e.g. child bearing. The job is still available when they return. 1 Like |

I took a career break, and never returned to my normal paid employment. My work was becoming boring after 2 decades, and I knew that I shouldn't remain in paid employment to my 40s, so I took a long leave to do a contract out of state, when I returned, I resigned. 4 Likes |
