Bench on Interview
Hi. I’m from WITCH and currently on bench although I’ve cleared all the certifications but have not been assigned to any project. I recently got a call from ThoughtWorks and the HR asked me if I have worked on projects and I said NO and then she asked me if I have been on bench I said yes. My question is what do I say in this scenario? As I want to exit the company because there are no projects, and the other company wants hands on experience.
