My friend who worked in IT product company for about 14yrs took a career break due to personal issues ( family, divorce, taking care of aging parents at hometown ) . His performance was always very good in his team. Now he wants to return to industry preferably in product companies. He was fairly in touch with technology during the break and has been preparing rigorously for past two months. He is getting only few interview calls and companies don't seem to be willing to take him. Anyone faced similar situation ? Any suggestions for him ? How can he get back in his career ?
Ask him to flip it a bit and don't show it as a break. Make it as a startup that he tried, failed and hence now back in search for a job. Of course he needs to be well prepared for questions around that. I feel indian market is not mature enough. People taking mental breaks is seen as sign of weakness by good-for-nothing corporate honchos.
Been in BPO industry for over 13 years. Took a break post Covid complications. Now the industry doesn't want me. Have been trying since a year but no one is hiring me.
