Usually the non-compete agreement is signed when you start work for a 
company. I've been shocked a few times at the restrictions some 
companies put on employees.

I worked for CTG in the 90's, and I thought that their non-compete 
agreement was quite fair. As I recall, it basically said that you 
couldn't go to work for a client you had been assigned to, for 6 months 
after the assignment was over. It was primarily to prevent raiding of 
employees by both the consulting firm and the client, because a similar 
clause was included in the customer contract, and bound both companies 
from raiding the other's employees.
