Career Interrupted
If you’re coming back from a career break, you have been furloughed, laid off, or in a career rut, you know what it’s like to feel anxious and unsure of your next move.
Life is too short to waste in the wrong career or be stuck in a place where you are unmotivated and underappreciated. If you feel like your resume gap is the big elephant in the room, it can be intimidating and overwhelming. What if you could get in the driver’s seat and take control of your career? Isn’t it time you reinvested–in yourself?
Serial technopreneur, career coach, and author Reena Gupta and her co-author, writer and speaker Rebecca Cullen have written a highly topical yet timeless book, Career Interrupted due out this spring. Career Interrupted is not simply another one-size-fits-all advice book, it is the bible you will keep on your desk for years to come because the authors’ interactive methodology resonates on a very personal level.
In the exercises at the end of every chapter, you will take a deep dive so you can assess your values, strengths, and weaknesses and then align your core beliefs and talents with the right career path. At the end of the book, you will have a complete work-life canvas so you have a concrete roadmap to achieve that ever-elusive work-life harmony.

For any organization, hiring employees or, even engaging a contractor for short/long term projects, is an expensive undertaking – in terms of time and money.
