Right now it seems that people will apply to (and take) anything that they can get. If it weren't for missed opportunities, I wouldn't be here :^) Good points, but like another posted, more relevant in a time of scarcity.

Of course, the more candidates there are, the harder that is but frankly, so few job seekers do a good job targeting the hiring company well, so focus on that.

I think the theory is ok if there are jobs available. If, however, you are having 12 people applying for every job vacancy then there is a paradigm shift. In that case you need to have more than a 100% match to the requirements before they will even look at you. Assuming that is the case and there are five others exactly like you, then the hunt is one and you need to win! Interesting story. I think the theory is ok if there are jobs available.

Of course you're right though. It is always good to have a Plan A and a Plan B, and to continuously track whether you're achieving your goals or not. Interestingly enough, this was actually the 2nd time in my life that I spent over 4 weeks just reading in the sun but because of the choice of career-related books, those relaxing learning sessions helped me make career jumps when I got back to work. Time well spent, indeed. All too often, people avoid planning ahead because they feel they don’t know where to start or even where to end! Of course you’re right though.

I would add the overriding theme that is so critical to being an effective change manager: Plan Ahead. Our ability to anticipate change has a direct correlation to our success in that transition, which means do the research ahead of time. That way your plan is informed by your research and networking, rather than the other way around. You'll get all kinds of feedback and suggestions on our plan - and a much better shot at successful time off and return. Great blog, thanks! I am inspired by your 3 months reading in the sun! That's now on my list! Your story is instructive on so many levels, and I agree with your takeaways.
