Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but my last job was in gov contracting (think Booz Allen Hamilton type of place) and I’m wondering if I’m allowed to 1) list the agency I worked with/for as a staff aug on my resume and 2) share the name of the agency in interviews….? I wasn’t working with CIA, and I was not doing top secret cleared work or anything, and I am not disclosing any sensitive work I did in my resume bullets. Can I mention client name or should I just say “federal client?”

I would definitely reach out to human resources and ask specifically about their policy. I'd hate to find out the hard way that you're not following it. They might not have an issue with it, and you can put them down, but they might and you definitely want to ask how they would prefer to be referred to.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾
