I understand that you are already having knowledge in your core area and as you were away in some other job so you want to know as what additional skills are required for coming back to the careers in the core line. The field of Electrical and Electronics is a very big field and there are certain subdivisions and each has its own unique learning. Then there are various job functions also which differ from one to another. You can sample some of the jobs in electrical and electronics area by visiting the
job page in this site itself and select the appropriate category and have a feel of the things. You can as well visit some other job portals in the internet also to scan through that information.
Some of these job functions are like designing of electrical and electronic equipment, maintenance and repair of electrical and electronic equipment, jobs related to electric power generation, related to transmission lines, jobs related to accessory machineries like big transformers and other equipment, related to CAD/CAM, supplying, erection, and maintenance of the city lifts in multi-storeyed houses, project management in electrical and electronic fields, related to drawing, coding, and specifying the equipment for global sales or tenders, estimation and supervisory control in electrical projects, maintenance and management of computerised compact electrical systems etc.
If you intend to go back to your core discipline then you must be having some idea as in which field you would like to try for a job. Why I am telling this is because if the area is of your liking and interest then there are good chances that you might also excel in that.
