Be Confidential About Your Skills and Knowledge

By keeping your skills and knowledge under wraps, you’re not only protecting yourself — you’re also helping the company that’s sponsoring you to do the same thing. This can be especially important if the company is just starting out, or if it plans to change direction so that others don’t steal its ideas ahead of time. Or, more simply put: if the company wants to surprise the industry with a big new move, then saying nothing about it is crucial!
