Scooter is spot on, but we need more information on your situation.

Did you sign a blanket non-compete at a prior employer and are now seeking employment at a new employer? If so, you need to be very careful. If you don't disclose it prior to accepting their offer and resigning from your current position, you may find yourself unemployed. If this is the situation, I'm surprised the prospective employer didn't ask. Just because they didn't doesn't clear you of disclosure. Give us more details.
