Trending @HCL; How to get intonnew projects easily once you are benched.

Hi guys! I just got over with my previous project which was the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. I was part of the mainframe run team and worked in it for 3 years. I would like to know in what all ways can 1 get into a new project. To add on, I'd also like to know what all technologies should one be looking into so that he has some good importance in the current corporate scenario. Thank you!
