On: The surprising benefits of a mid-career break

[jczhang]

Question for all you guys who took a break (ie travel for 1 yr+) and came back to another job. How did you show in your resume?

My resume just looks something like:

  Job A: 2007-2009
  Job B: 2010-2014
  ...etc

No one ever asks.

Well, I did few freelancing projects during my 2 years break, so I guess I could fill it with freelancing and list of projects to show for.

On the other hand, I haven't try to get another job since. Mix of freelancing and working on my own projects is replacing my income.
