<prompt> Human: I would be going to live with an uncle in a rural area and learn general skills such as woodworking and other handyman knowledge. I figure its now or never because Im looking to switch industries anyways and I dont have a family to take care of yet. Im just worried whether it might look negatively on an employer. I have a college education, if that helps with any answers. Thank you.  <response>: Time off will only look bad if you dont have an explanation for it.I see resumes with 3-6 month breaks all the time, it only gives me pause when the interviewee says something like I just couldnt find a job or I was just living at home. If you explained that you were burned out on your career, youd decided you needed to reset and reprioritize, and explained what all you learned over your time off, that you spent the days working, then I dont think an employer would frown on that.
