Career breaks occur for various reasons, whether by choice or circumstance. Drawing on my 18 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, a five-year career break, and a successful return to the field, I will debunk career gap myths, address imposter syndrome, and provide practical techniques for navigating various stages of career break. Stage 1: Recharge & Reinvent – Discover ways to stay relevant, build new skills, explore your passions, and set the foundation for a strong comeback. Stage 2: Green Light Go! Craft a strong comeback story, tackle job hunt with confidence, and leverage on AI tools to stand out. Stage 3: Full Speed Ahead – Make an impact, silence self-doubt and accelerate your career growth. This session is for anyone who wants to move from red flag to green light because a break isn’t a stop, it’s a setup for something bigger.
