05 July 2015 I am a qualified company secretary having experience in corporate law and accounts for over 2 years in a reputed organisation. Later, due to frequent relocations post marriage, I could not commit myself for a full-time job, and I now have a gap of almost 3 years. I am updating myself with the changes in law and have a good academic track record. I am also pursuing further studies (doing CA inter to hone my accounts knowledge). Now I really want to support my family financially, however, I find it hard to get interviews.

Though I am eager to start practice and believe I may be able to achieve work-life balance better with practice, I am a bit apprehensive about the financial risks involved in it.

Please advise me on how to proceed further.

07 July 2015 I would suggest you to get in touch with good job consultants/firms for getting job opportunities.

You may also use premium paid services offered by various job websites. I am sure a small job will be able to remove the tag of 3 years gap. So keep trying and keep updating yourself.

All the best

12 July 2015 As per my opinion direct entry to practice is not a good idea. First try to find out a good job and brush up your skills and then think about practice.

Thanks
