It is never out of season for growing your career, but it is okay to take a break.

Written By Desmund Adams

During the summer months, people may go on vacation, and hiring may slow – it is a great time to slow the pace of growing your career or rather change up how you do it.

  • Take a course online or off

  • Read a book

  • Learn a new skill or practice an existing one

  • Revise your resume, CV, and social media profile

  • Take some time off to recharge

“Take some time off to recharge?!” Yes. A lot of growing your career is mental work, and you need to be rested and relaxed to do it well. We have vacation and PTO time for a reason. The best thing you can do for you is to protect your mental well-being, and that requires rest and a break. Take some time off.
