Quitting to work for a competitor

Image
Before you quit your job to work for a competitor, you may want to consider the following: Review your agreement. Does it contain a non-compete clause? If yes, you may be required to stay and work with your current employer for a period of time before leaving to work for a competitor. Is your new employer requiring a letter from your current employer? If yes, be prepared for anything. Your current employer may write a good or bad review, and you may not have a chance to appeal. This may affect your potential future employers.  How is the relationship between your current employer and your coworkers? You may not be able to please everyone, but you also do not want to upset or strain relationships with coworkers. Sometimes more money is not the answer to everything, but great relationships with coworkers and managers can make a huge difference in terms of job satisfaction. Consider other opportunities and benefits available to you from your current employer versus the new employer an...

Security tip: Disable remote desktop

Image
Why? Because you want to increase the security of your computer or your client's or your company's or your parents' computer. A Remote Desktop can be used by scammers pretending to offer technical support. You don't need it on unless you know what you are doing, and it is for specific and legitimate reasons. Most of the time, it should be turned off.  In a Windows computer go to the Settings (shortcut = press the Windows icon + the letter I) > System> scroll down > click Remote Desktop > click on the toggle next to the Remote Desktop option to turn it off. You will be prompted to confirm your decision and click on the Disable button and exit the Settings. Some versions of Windows do not support this feature and you will see a red sentence stating something similar or variation of this, "Your Home edition of Windows 11 doesn't support Remote Desktop."

Call for proposals: Consultant - Elevating Communities Voices in the roll-out of new HIV treatment innovations
