I'd talk to your SM before you do, cya, in case it comes off wrong with the client, don't burn the bridge at Deloitte

My client VP wrote a LinkeIn reference for me. Ask nicely, and give them lot of time because they are busy.

Thanks all!

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls.

Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!
