Frustated on the current project :( not being able to utilize my current skill sets. Trying to network within the firm to get analytics related projects, but reaching dead end. Does anybody feel same?

As a consultant you should be a jack of many trades

Have a broader mindset of learning and improving on what comes your way, rather than going in search of something specific. That would definitely reduce your frustration...and opens your mind on learning things outside of analytics which could be: developing strategy, influencing people and stakeholders, improving shareholder value etc

It’s very frustrating. It’s great to learn other things, but we depreciate very quickly. It feels like all the effort is going to the drain.

Yes I have seen that too. Not sure whether it is industry or firm specific. I am fairly new but never thought I would have to always be looking for a job. And I have taken the time to build yo skills -

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
Q3 does MBB care about vol?
