Work with your RM to find a project that works for you. That being said, don’t sit on the bench for more than a week. If you’re in GPS and have a clearance you have a little extra pull I’m looking for a cleared project so maybe you get an extra week for that reason.
For more than a week from when you are first hired?
I joined July 2019 and was able to interview with different projects for a month until I picked one, however, times could be different now due to how many resources are on the bench
New hire resumes are circulated prior to start dates. Often a new hire will be aligned to a project prior to start. Depending on who is running a project that a new hire is staffed to, you may or may not have the freedom to pick. In speaking with an RM on behalf of one of my coachees, it is a bit like “Lord of the Flies” with new hires.
If you have connections within the firm before you join, I recommend reaching out to them to be on the look out for your resume and try to steer you into a well-suited role.
I’m rolling off my first engagement in about a month. I guess I should start looking..
It depends upon what you were hired for. If you were hired in a more specialized role or offering, you will have more leverage to be pickier about your first project. If you can, try and make sure the project you pick is aligned to what you want to do. It is hard to turn down a project in the eyes of RM unless you have something else lined up. I was not brought in staffed and my first 3 weeks I was networking constantly until I was staffed.
Don’t freak out too much about not getting staffed, but also make sure you are proactive if there is a specific role you want to be in.
