If you’ve been dreaming of holidays all year then, paradoxically, now may not be the time to switch off. Sure we all need a break but if you have a job you love, you don’t spend 11 months of the year wishing it were December.
The trouble is if you have a job that isn’t what you want; it doesn’t leave you much time to look for one you do want. If you are serious about improving your career prospects, consider putting aside at least a few days these holidays for extra-curricular activities that will widen your skills base and open up new avenues.
