Amen! A while back, I heard of one potential applicant to our company
who answered a question about what do, if hired, with current clients,
by simply saying he'd "continue to work for them as well." Ooo, wrong
answer. They didn't ask me this question, but I expect my answer would
have been similar to yours: as long as there's no conflict of interest,
what I do with my own time is my own business.
Your friend and mine,
Matt
