The Summer holidays are often seen as a time for relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether you’re planning a local staycation or an overseas getaway, the summer break offers a perfect opportunity to take a step back from your daily grind and assess your current career situation. It’s essential to use this time wisely, allowing yourself to reflect on what makes you unhappy in your current role and to formulate a plan for your next steps.
