When you leave a company it is usually by hoping to better your situation. A new company means a new life – or so one hopes! In some cases, though, this new job turns out to be kind of a downfall. For instance, a new company working in the field of TV is booming. Lots of peple get employed, the best and the brightest. Then the investors flee this company, and it may find filing for bankruptcy. As dramatic as this may sound it happens, and quite a lot of times. What do you do if you find yourself in danger of being unemployed? Turn to the next employer or, maybe, even if it sounds a bit strange at first, return to your former company for a come-back? If stars can come back why not an ordinary citizen?

So you have spent years cramming in more or less useful information, remembering paragraphs, rules and such things, but here finally comes your compensaton: A graduate occupation may wait for you that is not open to people who have not done this cramming! At times, you may think that you are full of theories that have nothing to do with real life. But wait until you can put your knowledge to practice. A certain amount of “overview” is necessary in order to be able to help build budgets, change business strategies or teach children to develop in a certain direction. Yet, practice is what counts in the end, weighing what you have learnt against the things you see in everyday life at the office.

Just like in schools, employment world also consists of levels and tests that all employees should notice.

The qualifications in a vocation learnt are clustered depending upon the framework and difficulties. Each qualification concludes a comprehensive allotment for a certain level.
