Has anyone started working with or for their client after being laid off from a job where they for example ran that account at an agency? Is it dicey legally, did it piss off your old agency? Did no one care?

If you’re laid off no one would care for sure but I’ve seen people do it and it not matter.

I’m not a lawyer, just have experience getting laid off with a super restrictive non-compete. Depending where you live, non-competes are unenforceable if they keep you from obtaining work without getting paid. (My attorney let me know that if they tried to stop me from going to a competitor the former employer would have to compensate me at my salary for the period they asked for)

If you were let go by your employer, your former client won’t likely have made any poaching clauses in their contract either. At my last job, someone went to our biggest client and knew where the bodies were buried on our side. It was an asset when they could be our advocate, but annoying when they called us on behind the scenes stuff.

Agree with above, if laid off no one will likely care. If you signed a restrictive non-compete at your former employer, could be dicey but doubtful anyone would enforce.

I’m trying to fix up my resume to apply to other companies. It’s my first resume fix since college so I’m trying to see what to include/ take out.
1) Do I keep my internships? My leadership experiences in college?
2) How do I organize my engagement experiences - All combined bullets or separated by client?
3) How about my internal efforts? (I did 3 internal projects within the firm)
4) Education on top or bottom?

If anyone has a good resume example, please do share!
