"It happened to me twice: once in my mid-thirties, and again at fifty-two. The first time I found a new position seamlessly. The second time it took two years. Out of the conversations and experiences of that period — and from accompanying colleagues going through something similar — first the book and then this platform emerged."
Michael Pröschel, Author & Founder
Based on the practical guide for career reorientation at 50+
restart50.plus is designed for managers and executives aged 50+ who are planning their career restart after redundancy or a severance agreement. If you held a leadership position and are now facing the question of what's next — this platform is for you.
Practical. Structured. For your fresh start.
The platform for executives 50+ — with tailored guidance, structured tools, and a coach who understands your situation.
Legal, financial, emotional, and the question of what comes next pile up at the same time. restart50 provides a clear sequence — without motivational slogans, without time pressure.
Each module combines reading, self-assessment, concrete tasks and dialogue with the AI coach. Typically 6 to 10 blocks per module.
A state-of-the-art AI model, designed for structured conversations, powers the coach behind the scenes. Processing takes place inside the EU — your conversations do not leave the EU. System prompts and methodology come from the curated guide, not general web training material.
Interview simulation with an AI persona that knows your industry, the advertised position and your chosen focus area. Up to twelve questions per session, adaptive follow-ups using the STAR method, structured evaluation at the end.
Practical tools for every step of your restart — integrated directly into the platform.
