Hi,
I have a 457 Visa and I work as sous chef in a restaurant. Recently I had another job (and sponsor) offer that I'd like to take. In this new position I would work in a different role, making pizza preparations (dough) and not in a restaurant.
In my current employment contract it is said: "By accepting this letter of offer you acknowledge and agree that you will not work for a competitor or establish a business in competition to the services provided by (name of the company) for a period of six months upon termination of employment."
Does that means that I can't accept the new job even if it is in a different position? Since this is my job, this extract looks like it would debar me from working for that period, and the immigration stability that I would need to find a new sponsor in 90 days upon the termination of my actual employment.
Best regards.
