Hi everyone! First post. I own a wedding planning business and live in a small town with a nearby college. I have realized that I need an assistant during weddings to help me with the smaller things. But as a small business myself, I do not want to teach someone everything I know just for them to turn around and start their own small business to compete with mine right away. What is a reasonable non-compete agreement term?

Non-compete agreements may no longer be enforceable… double check this in your area though.

No such thing as a non compete anymore .

None

Do you have advice on how to interview better with Amazon?

My résumé and portfolio are great, and I’ve been asked to interview with Amazon for 4 different teams now. However, it seems like I’m not making it past the first 1:1 interview. 3 out of 4 have resulted in not the right fit for reasons unknown; they don’t provide any feedback either. I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????

I'm working on a pitch deck, for an event that I'm planning next year for my wine brand called OBA, but I'm struggling to come up with sponsorship ideas.

I don't want to go the traditional route of creating tiers, because I feel like you should do most of the things in tiers regardless on how much they donated. Can anyone assist with coming up with some ideas?

Also, does anyone know how to create a virtual swag bag?

Thanks in advance.
