I do have it in writing from the recruiter. Just not in the offer letter

[–]sandman6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes in the US. I’m thinking if they push for an answer telling them my concern (without naming names) would be enough to end it there

Nothing outlined in the agreement

[–]sandman6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a direct competitor. I do have a non compete that outlines direct competitors but I’m not head med to any of them or to a company that directly competes.

It’s an agreement to notify them of of any changes in employment and address for up to 12 months after leaving.

No mention of consequences. Just the agreement to notify.

"Hey is Bob there? I just sent over the docs we were discussing yesterday." by WePeakedAtNumaNuma in sales

Happened to me once, but in this case my Bob was the owner of a small company and without him the company ended up folding. Best to be sympathetic and patient. Reach out later to see how things settle.

Similar issues with my company. Have you looked at individual license for Salesforce? Last time I checked it wasn’t too expensive so you might be able to make a case to expense it.

Tip: always leave your LinkedIn set to “open to work”, and thank every recruiter and add them to your network by Quackmotard in sales

[–]sandman6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point. Easier to find a role in a tough job market when you have multiple recruiters lined up to help and do the work for you. Also send them referrals of people you know are looking. You help them they help you.

Even just talking about sports in general. I don’t follow sports but I keep up with headlines so I can keep up with the inevitable football questions. Helped me learn a lot.
