a lot of times people will come and see
00:06
us
00:07
when they’re contemplating looking
00:09
looking for new job
00:11
when they already have a non-competition
00:12
agreement i think the safest thing for
00:15
that
00:16
person to do is to have that reviewed we
00:19
review these
00:20
all the time we don’t charge a lot for
00:22
it but we do charge as a service we
00:24
provide
00:25
and be prepared to compare what you’re
00:30
doing in the job you’re looking to get
00:31
out of
00:32
and what you plan to be doing in the job
00:35
are you looking to get into
00:37
and i think it’s very important to have
00:39
that non-compete
00:41
thoroughly evaluated and get somebody
00:44
like like me
00:45
who will tell you this is this is a
00:48
problem this is a potential problem
00:50
and this is a not a problem at all the
00:53
other thing and the most important piece
00:55
of advice
00:55
i would ever give to somebody who’s
00:57
looking to go
00:59
from one job to another if the second
01:02
job is identified
01:03
be candid and direct with a new employer
01:07
and if the new employee wants you bad
01:09
enough
01:10
and usually that is the case make sure
01:14
that the new employer
01:15
indemnifies and defends you for any
01:18
attorney’s fees you incur
01:19
if the first employer comes comes at you
01:22
and i always tell people things that
01:24
sometimes they don’t want to hear in
01:26
this regard
01:27
that if the new employer is not willing
01:29
to do that for you
01:31
it’s not worth it
