Ich bin bereits über fünfzig und möchte nach über 20 Jahren endlich wieder in meinen alten Beruf einsteigen. Geht das so einfach?
I'm already over fifty and would finally like to return to my old job after more than 20 years. Is it that easy?
Returning to work after a long absence can sometimes be quite problematic, especially in professions that require specialized knowledge, which develop quickly and are continuously adapted to the current state of knowledge. Depending on the profession you worked in, a 20-year absence can therefore make it difficult to return to your old position and often requires further training to (re)acquire the necessary skills and competencies. In many professions, however, returning to work is less problematic, for example in retail, hospitality or construction. Career counseling that discusses your goals and opportunities with you, shows you ways forward and works with you to implement them is highly recommended in such cases.
