From career breaks to break ups

This week’s episode of the I’ll Ask My Sister Podcast is a bit different that usual. Ellen and Mads are clearing out their mailbag and answering four questions in one episode. 

 

This week’s questions:.

1. How do you find your tribe at work?
2. What do you write on your resume when you've taken some time off from working?
3. In a couple who are dating and have mutual friends. How do you decide who leaves a friendship group after a breakup?
4. Do you believe in dream jobs?

 

Discover:

• Tips for fostering genuine connections in your workplace, and for managing the group dynamics. 
• Why you should, and how to, look deeper than just proximity or convenience when choosing who to connect with. 
• How to word your resume so your time off work isn’t seen in a bad light. Including the simple but powerful “career break.” 
• Alternatives to the traditional resume format, like a skills-based CV, that can sidestep this issue while still showcasing your abilities.
• Who gets a say (and who doesn’t) in your friendship after a breakup. Hint: It’s not just you and your ex!
• The importance of protection yourself emotionally by not rushing things. Instead you want to allow time and space for your relationships to adjust naturally.
• A pragmatic view of “dream jobs” that acknowledges not position is perfect and no role lasts forever. 
• A cosmic perspective focused on the evolving path of your career, rather than a fixed destination.
