New findings from LinkedIn show that about half of hiring managers say career breaks are becoming more common.
A new report by Wells Fargo finds that a labor shortage in the child care field has impacted nearly half a million families in recent months. Experts believe that low wages may be contributing to the current labor shortage in the industry.
The lack of reliable child care has caused thousands to take a career break in the last two years. And while many women still see a stigma attached to career breaks, new data shows that may be changing. "A lot of people say that you learn a lot of valuable soft skills, like time management, excellent communication, being able to ruthlessly prioritize," said Camilla Han-He, a senior product manager at LinkedIn."So, don't shy away from adding those things to your profile. They're valid, they're real and they're super valuable."
Hiring managers say people often undersell many valuable skills they've learned during a career break.
