I tried inviting guests, but no one felt comfortable coming out publicly to talk about their experience. This made me even more interested in the whole concept of what these professionals were calling a sabbatical, what it actually was, and why it's still a taboo to take time off from a long career to do whatever else one wants to do or just recover from being laid off and burned out.\nThen, last month LinkedIn changed its profile settings recently to allow professionals to identify a career break during their work experience. And in the past couple of weeks, a few prominent Australians quit their jobs. They informed that they were resigning and planning to go on a career break: The Premier of Tasmania, the CEO of the Australian Football League. And last week, a former guest of The Job Hunting Podcast and the CEO of Koko Black, Nicolas Georges. In his announcement, Peter Gutwein, former Premier of Tasmania, said that there was \"nothing left in the tank.\"\nTheir message was clear: The past couple of years have taken a toll. Undoubtedly, more professionals are feeling burned out and dreaming about taking a break. So, how can we plan and enjoy a proper sabbatical and still make a triumphant return to work?\nLinks mentioned in this episode:\nClick here to learn more about my career services on my website\nSign up for my weekly newsletter for job hunters and career enthusiasts\nLearn more about my group coaching and online course, Job Hunting Made Simple\nFree resource - Optimized Job Search Schedule: Free Workbook and Masterclass to start a successful job search routine.\nWant to work with me?
