Ramp It Down Tip
Write a Letter to Yourself
As you wrap up your paid gig for awhile, write yourself a quick note to be opened on a specific date a few months before you return to work. In the note, jot down at least 3 options of where you'd like to see yourself go, career-wise, upon your return. When the time comes, use this letter to yourself as a springboard towards choosing your next career step.
