Super Woman: Conquering Her Former Empire

There are phases in a woman’s life, where despite her zeal and heart to carry on, she is obligated to slow down or take a step back. Taking a break from work is one such instance. Varying from one society to another, the pause may occur she when marries, has a kid or going through some unfortunate phase like physical illness or other social constraints. Even the most super woman like fervor falls short of upholding the career graph towards the limitless sky when such unavoidable doldrums come up.

The work force is a cut throat crowd. If a lady chooses to withdraw from her job but intends to return to it in the future then she should keep in mind that it will not be a cake walk to her old position. During this break she needs to take a smart super woman like approach that will move parallel to her personal life even if she is far from work. The first step in this approach is planned resignation rather than sudden exit. You must give proper notice to your employer and clarify properly that the reason for your quitting your position is not lack of interest or any deficit in the work environment. Moreover, you should request befitting recommendation letter from the organisation as a ground work for any future attempts.

When you quit your job, you must ensure that you do not quit the social life associated with it. Every woman has two different set of friends, “work friends” and “social friends”. Just because you have detached yourself from their professional life that should not result in you getting erased from their calling list. Now that you won’t be part of the office parties or conferences, you have to put an extra super woman like effort to stay in touch with your colleagues. They can prove to be of immense help when you try finding a way back in their world.

The growth in knowledge and technology progresses in leaps and bounds and you have to keep feeding your super woman like thirst for awareness to stay up to date. You may fear that you will feel like a dinosaur when you try to get back to the game and it is pertinent to mention here that this fear is not unreasonable. If you spend your time like you are on vacation then you may find that vacation as a never ending one! So you must ensure proper up gradation of your skill and resume during such period.

When you do decide to get back to work, you must be very sure that you are really “ready” to go back to work. One time withdrawal can be treated with compassion but repeated fluctuation in the work graph is never seen as a positive attribute in a super woman.
