Joining the 
Government
Ethics questions also can arise if you ever enter Government service after working in the private sector.
For example, you may have continuing financial interests in your former employer which might pose a conflict of interest. These interests could include stock, stock options, pensions, deferred compensation arrangements, or other miscellaneous benefits. These conflicts may be resolved by divestiture, recusal or other measures.
You may not work, for one year after leaving a former employer, on any contract or other Government matter in which your former employer is a party (or represents a party), if either you or an agency ethics official determines that a reasonable person would question your impartiality.
