Searching for a New Job: Doing it Right
// Dallas, Texas, United States // Attorney Keith Clouse (Blog) // Keith Clouse
Keith Clouse, a Dallas employment lawyer who advises executives about job transitions, believes that an executive on a job hunt should:
• Use his personal resources to job search. The executive should not reach out to prospective employers during working hours from a company-owned computer using his corporate email account. While nothing restricts an executive from exploring other options, he should keep his job search efforts irreproachable. • Be mindful about social media use. Nothing is truly private on a social media website. If a dispute arises between the executive and his employer, social media postings could become an issue. • Protect company secrets. Most likely, an executive is bound by a non-compete agreement that contains a confidentiality clause. But, even if an executive is not, trade secrets and other confidential information may be protected by a Texas state statute, Texas common law, or a corporate policy the executive agreed to long ago. An executive should not discuss this material with a prospective employer. • Be fully cognizant of his contractual and ethical obligations to his current employer. An executive must understand how those obligations will impact future opportunities. An employment lawyer can advise an executive about how to achieve his goals while remaining in compliance with his obligations.
