This is for the attention of all the CA's who have qualified and yet have to strive for jobs. Everytime I get a call for interview, the only thing where I am stuck is experience. I wish to enter into IDT whereas my articleship (which happens to be from one of the top 10 Indian firms in New Delhi)experience revolves around audits and IDT work done during audits only. I have qualified my CA in first attempt throughout. And see where I am standing....with a degree in my hand-JOBLESS. even a person who is not a professional is doing better than me. I am getting a feeling as if I am some dummy article. What is my fault??? just that i wish to do what I love doing??? It may sound very bollywoodish but untill and unless I am hired where is the experience going to come from??? If I am not getting a job, I dont know how people with people who have cleared after 6 attempts or the dummy articles find decent jobs and that too in the area of their choice? My question to everyone out there who is either working or hunting for a job like me because I am just not able to figure out what else is required in my CV?
1)Pls initially take any job opportunity that comes in your way no matter how low they pay you. you should initially give importance to knowledge & experience for sometime than money. better opt for manufacturing industry than service industry bcoz you will learn lots of things in manufacturing companies.
2)Seek some CA Firms Who want Fresh CA for their work. work there for sometime in any field they are giving you, build some repo with dem and then ask for IDT area in which you are interested.
God will succeed you.......but pls dont get frusted and be bit strong.....

thanks but can u please advise me as to which firms in new delhi/ NCR will give me good exposure in indirect tax. Money is not the matter to me at this stage. All I am looking for is learning.

Well i cannot suggest you which firm is good in delhi as i belong to mumbai.
instead you search on caclubindia itself, ask your Principal Employer from where you completed your articleship, ask your friends, read & search in local newspaper, use internet facility......
