Is there any way to see a history of utilization? I want to figure out how many times I've been extended to illustrate the client's desire to keep a valuable resource

I think many consultants have a common misconception that "I'm doing good at a client therefore give me the best rating". In relation to peers, almost everyone does a good enough job that the client wants to keep them. Just because your particular client had the budget and resources to extend you doesn't indicate better performance relative to peers

Yes I agree with that. I'd be citing the stat in a bschool application though, not a performance review

Are you asking about utilization at the code level? Why can’t you just say you were 100% utilized by the same client for over X months/years as a result of continued high performance and value driven work, of course providing some stats and examples. Who the heck cares what you charged to a code?

I'm thinking you would've had a new wbs each time you were extended for each new SOW? Or were they all change orders? Maybe check talent link and look at your calendar to see if the bookings were all separate
