4 Answers
I was made redundant in October from a job which i loved!! It turned out quite well as i haved managed to squeeze some travel in. I return to the Uk in May and have been in contact with my old Boss. He is implying that things have in the company are stable and there is a vacancy for me if i want It!! I am a little worried that this the job might not be guarenteed and i will be back to square one and searching for a new job again.. Any advice please!!?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.if you loved the job and your boss can assure you of a contract for a period of time which you are happy with i say go for it, the pros are...you know how to do the job, you love it, your boss obv appreciates your skills, you get a job now instead of hours of tiresome jobhunting. the cons...if you have been made redundant once it could happen again,
ask your boss what measures have been put in place to avoid redundancies. how has the company developed in terms of success since your departure. if there is a vacancy then you assume that they have money to pay for that position!! if your boss is patchy and says "it's a matter of time" or "we are not sure" etc. then i reckon cut your losses and start anew.
now you have time on your hands you can search for a perfect job somewhere else, though it's a lengthy process, you might be able to find a vacancy for another job which you will love and which will be secure.
this prob didn't help...but i've been in your position, although not made redundant, i left and then got offered my job back with more pay...but declined and now have a better job more designed to my career interests! be brave. xxx

Pursue it in line with any other jobs that you're applying for. Don't hang on it, because there's a chance it might not materialise. If he comes up with a concrete offer, fine. If someone else comes up with one first, then that's his tough luck.
I don't often listen to my mother-in-law - she's a twerp - but I have long followed one little bit of her advice - never go back. Because if you do, it will never be the same as it was before and it rarely works out. I did it twice, and it didn't work out on either occasion.
