is non-compete important?

If I was planning on starting a promo distributor business, but I get a job as a promo sales guy for a company, can I use what I learned to start my own company few weeks later? If that company focuses on main sector like Construction companies to sell to, can I also target Construction companies after I start my own? obviously I wont steal any company info, list, or anything like that. what is the ethical way to do it?

tldr: joining a company to learn the business then starting my own, but can I target the same sector as the company i learned from? not going after their existing clients ofcourse that would be unethical. but targeting the overall industry, same one they taught me how to work on? thanks in advance
