要注意什麼呢?

休息是為了走更長遠的路，要記得專注在休息階段的『成果』而不是時間的長短。

Focus on what did you learn from the breaks? What did you achieve? Don't focus on the void, focus on what you gained from the experience.

在 Personal Statement 中寫出你所學到的，在修辭的部分要注意一些:

譬如說被裁員後我去修個學分:

Went to evening college after I lost my job.

這時讀履歷的主管可能就會直接看句子的最後，心中有疑問: "How did you loose your job?"

所以在這個時候,我們就要在『成果』的部分多用一點心:

如果我們說: Gained an associate degree

那完全就把注意力放到 Gained a degree 而不是在 I lost my job.

所以句子可以改成:

Gained an associate degree in childcare to improve my qualifications after redundancy.
