Second year associate with below target utilization. Last year in the CRT, I was at tier 4, again because of a below expected utilization. Can I be fired this time? My snapshots on client are good tho

Not necessarily his fault. Leadership hordes because a project IS GOING to sign next week every week. Why I tell my coachees signed work trumps all.

Hmm thought they usually had to have something else to give you below tier three. How low is it?

(Contd) though and I have a okayish story for what I was doing when on bench.

I would say that its a pattern and youre on the layoff list if your group ever does cuts. I don't think they would just fire you outright for it though

I’m at just about 70%

Well what were you doing the rest of the week?

You seem fine. 70% is different than 50% utilization, and if your snapshots are good, you’ll probably get a 3 rating.

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well. Do you think it's a good idea to devide work experience by projets? Or is it better to have "projects highlights" separate from work experience.. something like: intro>functional expertise> project highlights>work experience>education?

The recommendation is that you always have a project posted.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
