The important thing to remember when you have had time off work is to be positive about your time off. Employers will understand why you’ve been off if you’re honest about the nature of your illness or injury. But it will help them to build up a positive image of you if you mention any personal development activities you’ve been doing whilst you’ve been off.

It sounds really simple and that is because it is, these sorts of activities could impress employers:

• completing courses
• joining societies
• volunteering
• being active in your community
• undertaking projects in the home
• spending time with your family

Give your confidence a boost

Whilst you’re out of the workplace your confidence can take a knock. You build confidence from doing things and achieving things, and work can play a big part in this. It is more than likely that you’ll start to gain confidence again if you take a positive step and do something new and challenging. As mentioned above, starting a course or doing some voluntary work could be the way to do this.

Update your skills

If you want to get back into the same line of work you were in before, check your skills and knowledge are up to date. You might need to update yourself on developments in the field and new working practices may have come in. One thing that could help is to contact old colleagues to ask them what’s been going on.
