I started working at a private company over three years ago, and it took me a few months to get to know project managers and build relationships so I could consistently secure work and stay busy enough to meet my utilization targets. For the past three years, I’ve met those targets and received consistent raises.

However, starting this year, I’ve been struggling to meet my utilization goals almost every month. When I bring this up to PMs and managers, their typical response is, “We’ll keep you in mind for upcoming projects,” or “Don’t worry, it will be fine.” Meanwhile, most people in my group seem to be fairly busy.

What might I be missing here? What else can I do to improve my situation?
