I recently rolled off a project (following guidance) and haven’t been able to find a new one for over a month. I’ve had a few calls with managers seeking specific skills I haven’t used yet, though I’m confident I could learn them quickly with some guidance—I’ve already self-taught one in a day when I wasn’t given the chance.

Is it normal to go this long without landing a new project? And should I be upfront about gaps in experience, or is it expected to stretch the truth? I usually work in small teams doing high level work and don’t want to slow things down or create friction by taking on tasks I can’t immediately execute.
