I took a short break to spend more time for my hobbies (for awhile) and to continue improving my skills as well. However I was looking for a job with interesting and exciting topics, where I can learn something new and where I can really contribute.
So I have now found this position which sounds very varied and very exciting according to the tasks. This position gives me the opportunity to use my commercial and technical skills from my education and my previous jobs.

Yes, I too agree for that and the reason behind is I have been looking after my dad's business for the past three years and due to disputes between business partners, we wind up the business and I do have experience in customer care, I want to continue my profile in the same domain.

I retired from civil service two years ago. At the time, I thought I was ready for retirement. I soon discovered that I liked working and was not ready to retire. I have been applying for positions for over a year with no success.
