How can I navigate switching jobs in a small industry where everyone knows everyone?

My industry is extremely small. Everyone knows everyone. I would like to apply for a job with a competing agency, but I’m afraid they’ll talk to my current employers and tell them that I’m thinking of leaving. What’s the best way to navigate switching jobs when I work in a small industry?First, be sure to take care of yourself. You should review your employment agreement for any legal requirements that could affect your departure strategy.

Have you thought through worst-case scenarios? What would happen if they did call your current employer? It can open a further conversation about gaps in your current role and/or provide an opportunity for your employer to try to keep you. We often anticipate the worst, but job changes are a part of business. Anticipate what will happen and prepare accordingly.

If you are cleared to proceed, I would recommend you network carefully. Is there someone on the hiring team or within the company you can reach out to in confidence to learn more about the role instead of just applying online? This way, you can build relationships through an informational interview first.
