Reboot: How to Manage Career Breaks and Return with Greater Success
'It's hard for me to say this, knowing the great feedback most of my peers had for you, but at this stage for our business in India, we just require someone who has some more entertainment marketing experience than you do. Hence, we wouldn't be taking your candidature forward for this position.'
When Issac quit his dream job of Head of Marketing at PUMA in 2015 and took a career break to study screenwriting in New York, little did he know what he had signed up for.
Over the next eighteen months, he would face over a hundred rejections from famed brands, headhunters, publishers, talent agencies and producers. After being rejected in the final interview rounds of brands like Uber, Netflix and Airbnb, he slowly and steadily clawed his way back into a mainstream career. Issac went on to lead a team of over a hundred people at Discovery, having built their direct-to-consumer OTT business in Asia-Pacific (discovery+), and has authored two books - all in a span of five years since that career break.
Over the past two years, Issac spoke to more than fifty working professionals, all of whom went through a break in their career for various reasons. Reboot is an intimate, honest and rich compendium of all those experiences, mistakes, lows and highs that people confronted with a career break go through. It shares the message that no matter the odds you are up against, a career break is always temporary, and, in many cases, it can even prove to be life-changing.

About the author
Issac John
2 books9 followersI am a consumer marketing professional turned author this year.
Late 2015, I took a break from a decade-old (perhaps) successful marketing career to devote more time to the craft of writing.
During this break, I graduated from the Screenwriting Program of the New York Film Academy in New York. my first book, 'Buffering Love' was my 4th attempt in 12 months to write something that I feel, could have a breathing life in the world, instead of it gathering rust on my machine.
The stories are inspired by my personal experiences with apps and saw the light of day thanks to Penguin Random House.
Prior to taking up the (near suicidal) decision to pursue writing, I was the Marketing Head for PUMA India for 4 years.
My interests revolve around sports, films and storytelling. I often look up to O’Henry, Woody Allen, Raymond Chandler, Jeffrey Archer and Herge for inspiration.
I often contribute to Mint Lounge, Maxim and FilterCopy as a columnist and I currently lead Marketing for two of Discovery India's channels - Discovery JEET and D Kids.

“Clarity about what you don't want to do is as important as what you want to do.”
Let's normalize career breaks. when Issac quit his dream job of head marketing at Puma in 2015 and took a career break to study screenwriting in New York, little did he know what he had signed up for. Over the next 18 months he would face over hundred rejections from fame brands, publishers, talent agencies and producers. After being rejected in the final rounds of interview of brands like Uber, Netflix and Airbnb he slowly and steadly clawed his way back into a mainstream career, leading a team of over hundred people at Discovery. 'Reboot' is his honest account on experiences, mistakes, emotional turmoil people go through while in a career break.
'Reboot' is a nonfiction, self-help book that encompasses all the real life situations related to career and career breaks. Burn outs are real and in today's world where everything feels like walking on eggshells it's even crucial to take steps that will benefit in long run. This book is not about what to do and what not to do, rather it speaks of how to navigate and deal with it even when one is clueless about the next step. One particular thing I liked about this book is it not only stresses on voluntary sabbatical but also gives ample attention to involuntary layoffs, which makes this book even more realistic.
Writing style is great, I was surprised how engaging this book was. It just flowed with the narrative. Finished half of it in one go. Reading about those Indian entrepreneurs and professionals was equally inspiring. And this book was something new for me. I really think this book will help people immensely.

Reboot: How to Manage Career Breaks and Return with Greater Success by Issac John is a reader-friendly guide on how one can make a comeback after taking a sabbatical (a career break). Usually, gap years on one's resume are looked down upon, especially in India. However, as John argues, things are changing and the world is becoming more open to the idea of taking time off and figuring out 'what next!'
The book has a three-fold purpose - to normalize career breaks, to highlight the unique things that can happen while one is on a career break, and to share some practical tips and advice that can help you make a comeback. It effectively captures the highs and lows of a career break and offers a practical framework to follow to plan a break and rejoin the workforce.
The book consists of anecdotes from John's life, including two voluntary breaks he took to pursue different things. He shares the good, the bad, and everything that went into the grind before his efforts saw the light of day. Besides, he also describes the experiences from the lives of other professionals who took breaks in their careers and then made successful comebacks. Their journey was also full of negotiations, hard conversations, and tough choices. Nevertheless, everything was worth it for the fulfilment in the long run.
John's writing is easy and comprehensible. His dealing with an important topic such as career break is commendable and the way this book breaks down the process is enjoyable to read. I believe that this book will help both seasoned professionals as well as those who are just starting. Be it paternal breaks, finances, societal taboos, and more; the book attempts to cover the breadth of career break and does so grcefully.

I understand that career breaks can be terrifying. I also took a mini career break and found it really difficult to stay motivated during that time. Books like these can not only help in managing our time effectively during the break but also help in staying motivated.
The author has shared his experience and learnings from his two career breaks. He has also shared a plethora of stories of successful career pivots and has shared his key takeaways from their journeys. There is so much that I've learned about planning and navigating through different career opportunities.

Not every story is a smooth running fairy tale, there’s always something that happens on the negative side, there is always a story which makes someone have a break, or put them in a situation wherein they don’t know what is the future in terms of career and how they are going to make a return. Success for such cases is always a prime focus and no one really knows what is going to happen, and what would be the consequences. A lot of times the reason for such stages wherein one has to take a career break is something unpredictable, one might get fired, another one might have a situation wherein some unfortunate events made him lose his job. The author Issac John is a well versed professional in this domain, he has put himself in the position of being the Marketing head for PUMA India for 4 years. He is a regular contributor to the famous magazines like Mint Lounge, Filtercopy, Maxim etc. He puts forward himself as a consumer marketing professional turned into an author. Well, to go about the book, one can say that it is a professional hand out to people who have faced such situations in their career lifes. After pandemic such situations have been common, wherein people have landed themselves into places wherein they don’t know what and how to manage such situations. Often it makes them take steps in the wrong direction and can also be fatal sometimes if not for life then surely for their careers. Well, we are always curious about if the person writing all such comeback stuff did actually ever belong to that part or phase of life. The author himself has faced this decision and taken notes and compiled them well enough to do the right thing. What does this book provide you as an individual? Well it’s the right idea of what things you sign up for once you are in the zone of no having the career you wished for. The book tells you what happens when the break for the career hits you which is something only a few can define. It can be also seen that the book not only tells you what happens when there are breakages in the career it also tells you why you can normalise taking a break in the career and how you can actually succeed with it. There is a constant flow of information to real experiences defining what good and bad can happen with these career breaks. Certainly one needs to stand on their toes, to tell them that these are the situations and I need to fight them in a certain way in order to find the right direction to my life as well as career. Reboot not only makes you recharged with energy, it also makes one understand what the world oriented to careers actually is! How it defines certain areas of life, and how it basically works! And in its counter, how a human should act, to make it better. As far as books, majorly self help books are concerned, I have always found the reviews to be segregated in sections wherein everything is specific, but herein I found that the book is compiled in such a way, that it creates a flow of understanding about the topic. Certainly someone going through the thoughts of taking a break, or forcefully/unfortunately on a break should read it to understand, analyse and implement their situation. To summarise, I would say it's an easy read. Simply being able to understand the content might be the right characteristic. And surely, Reboot makes you learn about how to manage career breaks and then find success! Appreciation to the author.

‘Career breaks aren't good.’ ‘You are doing so good why do you want to take a break?’ ‘You have a good salary and a good home; why do you want to disrupt your life?’
People make all these statements but fail to fathom that happiness doesn't lie in a good salary or a job that society admires. These are not the days of the industrial revolution- when you needed a job for survival because there were only a few options. The times and the perspectives have changed, and so has the mindset. So before we proceed, are you happy with your current job?
Reboot- how to manage career breaks and return with success is the debut work of Issac John that explains career breaks, how and when to take them, why they become a necessity, how these breaks don't disrupt your career, and how to make the most out of them. He also discusses how you can plan them, how to come out to the family about that and your plan. I appreciate the inclusion of taking care of mental health while on the break as a different chapter in this book. The insights discussed here are worth your time.
In the third part, the author discusses the comeback and encourages you to join the same work profile if that is what you excel in. It is not a failure but a chance you took and is an act of courage. He also discusses how you can minimise the chances of a salary cut. The book is well-crafted and covers almost every aspect. Yes, he has discussed financial planning, too.
The book speaks to you. The writing style is comprehensible, and the pace is smooth. If this were not a debut work, it would have been worth 5 stars, but I shall go for 4.5 out of 5 stars for now. Anyway, this is a book that I shall recommend to every working individual. I hope you find this book well and that it encourages you to think about taking that awaited step.

People make all these statements but fail to fathom that happiness doesn't lie in a good salary or a job that society admires. These are not the days of the industrial revolution- when you needed a job for survival because there were only a few options. The times and the perspectives have changed, and so has the mindset. So before we proceed, are you happy with your current job?
Reboot- how to manage career breaks and return with success is the debut work of Issac John that explains career breaks, how and when to take them, why they become a necessity, how these breaks don't disrupt your career, and how to make the most out of them. He also discusses how you can plan them, how to come out to the family about that and your plan.

When Issac quit his dream job of Head of Marketing at PUMA in 2015 and took a career break to study screenwriting in New York, little did he know what he had signed up for. Over the next eighteen months, he would face over a hundred rejections from famed brands, headhunters, publishers, talent agencies and producers. After being rejected in the final interview rounds of brands like Uber, Netflix and Airbnb, he slowly and steadily clawed his way back into a mainstream career. Issac went on to lead a team of over a hundred people at Discovery, having built their direct-to-consumer OTT business in Asia-Pacific (discovery+), and has authored two books – all in a span of five years since that career break.When times are hard and faith is fleeting, these books can offer solace and provide hope.

This book is particularly noteworthy for those people who take a career break in their life, but after taking a career break, they are often unable to come out of it. Some people are afraid of taking a career break. They think that if we take this break, we will not be able to get these golden opportunities again. Some people take a career break, but after that, they have to confront difficulties like repudiation and they do not find golden possibilities easily again. The author also confronted all these things in his life. He also got a lot of rejection, especially from the companies which were his dream companies like Netflix, Uber, etc. But he did not give up, he kept attempting again and again and finally, he got his dream job.
I have not endured so many rejections in my life. That's why I can't interpret this pain. But I presume this will prove to be a very beneficial book for many people. According to me, this is a remarkably useful book because in this the author has elucidated it in the easy vernacular and the language is easy to discern. The never giving up the belief of the author has impressed me a lot which inspires me that I too can take a break in my career and come back successfully.
