Question for the group: Has anyone here taken a midlife/adult gap year or sabbatical? I'm excited (and a little nervous!) to start one soon – self-funded, between roles as I determine my next career step – and would love your wisdom:

1. What was most refreshing?
2. What brought clarity on your next chapter or a career change?
3. Best advice for someone on the precipice?
4. Magic wand, not-unlimited-budget: what's your wish list?

Wins, regrets, surprises – all welcome. Thank you!

I have been out of work for the past 6 months, and have flooded many email boxes - applied to more than 600 job posts, have been getting a call for an interview, but after my first call with the HR, recruiter or even hiring manager, I don't seem to get past that stage! Any advice on how to get past this?

Come back to work on Monday only to find that my work load was added to. What will it take?

Friendly reminder, NO ONE likes that person who sends emails when your company is closed.

Don’t be a loser, enjoy the time off.
