Should I try to get my old job back?

Question

It's been two years since I was at my old job, and I really miss it, and would love to go back , but the problem is that they know I had finished school for a vocational program and thought I would move on with a career in that path, but turns out I hated that career path.

I don't know if they would take me back or if it would be awkward, as I left them after many years, also don't want to ruin my references with them if I go back and it doesn't work out.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Is your old job even still available or did they replace you in the past two years?

There's no way to know if they will take you back unless you ask them.. It should not be awkward if you explain that you prefer your old job over the vocation you trained for, because things like that happen.

If the job is still available and if they agree to take you back, you will have to decide if it is worth the risk in case it doesn't work out.
