Quit & Travel
以下是我四分之一人生危机的摘要。
I am a May 2015 graduate and have been working in a back office role for about 7 months now looking to make a change. Same duties at the same time day in and day out and not really learning much nor very interested in the work. I took this job knowing that it wouldn't be great, but did it because I was desperate for money and a name brand on my resume.
在停机期间,我发现自己正在研究房地产(在小型经纪公司JR年实习),并找到了出国的机会。在开始我感兴趣的职业生涯之前,我认为我的个人发展出去看世界将是有益的。由于各种原因,我从未出国学习,我对此感到非常后悔,我想在该错误太晚之前修改这个错误。
I am seriously considering taking a 2-3 month volunteer opportunity to teach English at a homestay in Europe to cure this need for travel. Free housing and food and opportunities to take 3-4 days to go wherever I want. Some obvious issues of this is money; I have about 35k of student debt, but I plan on living at home the next year and half and paying it off. Another issue is finding a solid real estate job when I get back, which I plan on aggressively networking and taking some REFM courses. I live outside of a major city so I know there are opportunities. I could also do some construction work in the meantime, which can sometimes be relevant to real estate.
有什么想法吗?这个会大受欢迎呢my career and ability to get a job after being off the grid for a few months? Or would it make me a more interesting person and candidate? I also don't plan on going toHBS
谢谢

2 - 3个月没有关系。我知道有德的人en years off to do things like Teach for America, teach English in Spain, and travel around South America. All of them were able to quickly find very good jobs when they returned to the States. If you do this, having the volunteer opportunity teaching English on your resume will help people to understand that you weren't fired when they read your resume and will help you account for your time. Good luck, I think you should do it!
TFA根本不像其他人。一方面,它更加享有声望和难以进入。更不用说这实际上是一项全职工作。进入TFA的孩子已经很成就了,因此,他们在开始大学职业生涯的品牌计划方面做得很好,这并不奇怪。
在国外教英语很有趣,但是问题是每个人都知道没有很多资格要做,有很多美国孩子这样做(所以您并不是完全独特的或其他任何东西),这是人们普遍承认的,这本质上是在国外学习的延续(换句话说,这很酷,但本质上是一个在国外搞砸的机会)。最大的问题是,它与OP尝试做的任何事情都不相关。
Anyway, maybe I'm just a debbie downer, but that's my take.
同意,我故意将它们从“最佳”组织到“至少”(从声望和贡献的角度来看)。具有讽刺意味的是,除了四处旅行和博客之外,没有做过的那个人是离开财务经理并获得高级的人。Director gig(与相应的跳跃相对跳)三年后回来时。他们返回时最长的任何人都被搁置了两个月,所有人都能够坚持下去,也没有降级自己的职业。
I may come across as lackadaisical, but I've seen too many people do this and be fine.

“在我开始我感兴趣的职业生涯之前,我认为我的个人发展出去看世界是有益的。”
Why didn't you do this in college? You've only been working for a few months, so I can't imagine that your financial situation is all that different today than it was in senior year.
也许我是个顽固的人,但是我真的不认为做您正在考虑做的事情是一个好主意(在您有35,000美元的债务和可能的储蓄中,放弃了一份付费工作去旅行)。我了解旅行的愿望,所以这就是我建议的。
We may have read this differently. I took the post to mean OP is considering setting up the plan now, spending the next year and a half preparing for it (paying off the debt, keeping costs down) and then going abroad. At that point OP would have been in the job for over two years which is much more palatable. I agree leaving at 7 months to do this would be a huge red flag, but I got the impression OP knows this. Two years at a reputable firm will more than携带他回来后,第二年计划一切都会让他在工作中以履历表上的大牌工作而期待。
Ah I see your interpretation now, and I think it makes a lot more sense than mine. Good points.
@Managerette" I appreciate the response, If I were to do this it would be this March after working for about 10 Months.CHItizen您布置的绝对是正确的方法。无论如何,我三月份要去爱尔兰大约10天,所以我希望这次旅行能使我过一会儿。同时,我需要开始寻找另一个工作,因为我要疯了 - 在我工作的情况下,一年不到一年就非常普遍。感谢您的输入。
不要劫持OP的线程。但是,您在销售方面有何看法。
Would it be possible to take 6-12 months off and go travel. I imagine I'd be able to spin it (sell it) as diversity of my knowledge and experiences makes me a better sales person but how do you explain it in your resume? Would you add a spot in there?
都好。我不确定销售,但是无论大多数职业与销售有关。
I would only be taking 2 months off and I would put in my resume for volunteering as a private tutor. In interviews I would stress that the learning plateaued in my previous job, and teaching English in a foreign country would be more of an educational experience.
CrE..您总是有洞察力的帖子..您介意阅读此书吗?..在出国几个月后申请工作/网络时,这会是一个巨大的危险信号吗?希望加入ULI。
My only real response is "it could" and that is because all employers are different. One hiring manager could see it as you getting a good life experience and helping people while another would instantly take it as a sign that you aren't serious. Framing will be everything and only you can quantify the personal risk/reward.
I would get a list together of companies you want to reach out to and then do it while you are overseas. "I worked at W, I am currently doing X in Y country, and when I return on Z date I would like to speak with you about ______" I think it comes off better than "I want a job but hey before that I'm heading to Europe for 4 months so catch ya later" and makes it seem more part of "the plan."
最后,您确实有没有回到一无所有的风险,而恢复差距可能会加倍或三倍。只是要考虑的东西。

Good stuff, thank you
辞职去旅行?这会皱眉吗?((最初发布:2018年1月7日)
Hi all - happy new year. This is something that's been on my mind and I wanted advice from more experienced monkeys.
如果我辞掉工作去旅行几个月,然后重新申请类似工作,这会皱眉吗?
