How recommendable is it to go back to your old job?

Returning to your old job is not an easy decision, as it must be made around the circumstances that caused the retirement in the first place. You must also take into account the performance and development that you had in the time you worked for the company, this will determine if it is feasible to return or not.

How recommendable is it to go back to your old job

If your departure from the company was on good terms, the possibilities for you to return to your old job will be favorable for you. (HERE YOU CAN REGISTER YOUR RESUME AND FIND A JOB).

In a conversation with elempleo.com Rafael Tamayo, psychologist and organizational consultant for Mapping Talents, assured that: 

“Several elements must be taken into account, if he is an expert in his functions, it is recommended that he return for the knowledge he has, another point to take into account is that the person must be updated with the dynamics, technology issues, management systems and processes that may have changed”

To return or not to return?

When the company you left realizes that they have asked for a valuable piece within the company, this creates new and valuable opportunities for you. If your former boss contacts you with a new offer, you should evaluate the following:

  • Improvement of salary conditions.
  • Reasons why they want you back.
  • Ideal conditions for your professional growth.
  • Changes in circumstances that led you to make the decision to seek new opportunities.  

The behavior you have had after leaving the organization is also important, actions such as speaking ill of former bosses, former colleagues, the company and others, do not speak well of you as a professional.

“In the same way, work teams and the interactions they have with the new processes must be considered, because the current dynamics are being transformed with new thoughts, different ways of seeing the company, new generations, this in the event that it is a person from a different generation than the work team, there may be a change in the group’s organizational culture,” Tamayo points out.

Going back to your old job or not is a personal decision, which should not be taken lightly. If you accept and return to that place again, do so with the conviction that it will represent another learning opportunity from which you will benefit.
