This can be especially important if you've been studying intensively for several years and need a break before diving into your career.
When it comes to your professional development, taking a break can also help you gain valuable experience and skills that will be useful when you start a graduate development programme. This might include:
- Working in a related field
- Volunteering
- Taking a short course to develop your skills and knowledge.
This can certainly help you stand out from other candidates when it comes to applying.
