Restarting your career: Five inspiring success stories from temporary work

Not every CV is straightforward. Not every career starts with a clear plan. And sometimes all it takes is someone who listens, recognises potential and opens doors. That's exactly what we do - and today we're showing five examples of how temporary work opens up new opportunities and relaunches careers.

From journalist to editor - a new start at the age of 57

Starting your career again at the age of 57? It's possible thanks to temporary work. An experienced journalist lost her job after the coronavirus crisis and slipped into Hartz IV. We gave her the opportunity to work as an editor. Her talent was recognised immediately - today she is permanently employed and secure until she retires.

Career change with gaps in your CV - making potential visible

A 53-year-old mum cared for her family for years and only worked short jobs. There were large gaps in her CV, but she was constantly educating herself online. We prepared her profile professionally, boosted her self-confidence and accompanied her through the application process. Today, she works as an assistant to the head of department and is about to be taken on.

From trainee to clerk - with support to your dream job

A former trainee had been looking for a job as a clerk for a long time. However, his shyness made the application process difficult. Thanks to our coaching and personal support during the interview, he was able to show his strengths. Today, he has successfully landed his dream job.

Starting a new career at 58 - physically lighter, mentally stronger

After years in the warehouse, the work became too physically demanding for one employee. Together we found an alternative: he now works as a dishwasher in a canteen with more pleasure and less strain. Here, too, a takeover is imminent - an example of how important professional reorientation can be in old age.

Finding orientation through temporary work after graduation

A 26-year-old graduate did not know which career path to take after completing her business studies. Through various temporary work assignments, she was able to test different areas, gain valuable experience and find her dream job. Today, she has a permanent position at the company that suits her best.

Conclusion: Temporary work opens up new opportunities - at any age

Careers are rarely straightforward. But with the right support, people of all ages can reshape their careers - whether they are 26 or 58, after a family break, a crisis or a change of industry. Temporary work offers not just short-term solutions, but real opportunities for a long-term professional future.

We are proud of every single success story - and look forward to many more to come.
