Recently I was contacted by a company recruiter regarding an opportunity. The company that contacted me is a direct competitor. Due to recent circumstances at my current place of employment, I am considering talking to the recruiter just to see if this is something I should pursue.
That being said, does anyone have any tips/experience in speaking with a direct competitor about a job? Should I make my resume a little less detailed regarding accomplishments so I don't give away private information? I have always read that it's best to use specific numbers (for example, "my recommendation led to a 10% increase in sales). But in this case, it seems like I shouldn't use specific information. Should I request any interviews happen either virtually or offsite so I don't see anything I shouldn't see?
Any tips anyone has would be appreciated.
