06 November 2012 In the todays scenario companies demand the experience only in the profile they require...bt my question is if it is the case then how anyone can grab the opportunity...because it is not possible to have practical experience in each and every thing...if a person has the potential to learn the things and apply them practically why dont industries hire CAs although fresher in that particular area..
I usually gets rejected because of this thing only...please advice me...

06 November 2012 From company's point of view., its useless to invest time in any person for making him learn things. Especially, in certain giants, there is no one to even train you., there you are suppose to learn yourself and start working... there, if you have any experience for the required profile, you will be preferred othervise not... So, dont get disappointed, you too will be recognized soon for whatever you have done so far...

06 November 2012 Whatever you said, happens generally in MNCs or Big corporates.., there they dont have time or money to invest in freshers..., so, i would advice you to join some SME., whereby you can get lesser pay and higher or diversified experience...

06 November 2012 but sir dont you think a CA has the enough potential to do the things even if not done before...i mean i am very frustrated dont know what to do....what the hell companies are doing now a days....5-6 years before just a CA degree was enough for a good job...aur kam to us time bhi hota hi tha...seriously in my personal opinion todays CA has the same potential as the earlier CAs used to have but companies expectations has gone beyond the imagination and this is the only cause for less no. of opportunities...

06 November 2012 Bhai, fir wahi baat? See., you are a fresher.. I am telling you this again and again... Being fresher, you have to accept whatever profile or company you get.. Once you get an experience of, say, 2 years.., trust me, there will be companies offering your desired profile only... But for initial 2 years, you have to work according to market conditions...

06 November 2012 See., if small companies are behaving this way, thn thats definately odd.. Coz, i have seen considering CA freshers for anythng or rather everything, in small companies.., where you get diversified experience in many fields.... And MNCs or big corporates, seriously dont hire freshers having limited experience, as companies cant invest time or money in giving you training or wait till you learn things...

06 November 2012 They Won't Hire, Simple Reason Because A CA Expectation's are Higher Comparing to Other Finance Person.
# A CA Don't Have Industrial Exposure Unlike MBA, CWA Insist to do Industrial Training.

# CA's Supply is Getting Higher Comparing to Demand.

# Since You are CA, You Will not do Pitty Works in Office, You Wanna Your Own Setup.

Also There are Many Reasons, All Which I Think so.

06 November 2012 Nowa Days CA Result is Even Higher Comparing to CA/CWA.
Even We Expect Higher Package, We will not Work in Less packages.
so Where is The Difference.

If You see Current Freshly Qualified, They are Becoming CA in 4 Years Minimum Period Only, Including Articleship after +2.
So I Saw many Qualified Who Completed His/Her CA in Age of 20 Only.
and Expecting Atleast 5-6 Package.

Even After Getting Package of 5-6 Lacs A Fresher CA Age Say 20-21 Years is Not Satisfied, and as soon as he join, he start to look for change job for again better package.

Though Friend, These all are my Thoughts, But Still I am With You, Since I am Also a CA.

07 November 2012 Ya i agree with all the facts i just want to say that
1) Companies are expecting very high from freshers or 2-3 years experienced qualified
2) Even if they dont want to hire they dont have the right to drmoralize a person by saying harsh words.....

11 November 2012 Some general observations: 01. A CA lacks in communication skill. 02. He owns a very sorrowful English. 03.There are genuine recruiters who are ready to upgrade the soft skill on payment of some fees and then get the candidate recruited in a particular MNC. CAs are reluctant to hire such service. Your views please.

19 November 2012 Infact i am not talking about the MNCs only there are some domestic big corporates also who doesnt hire if a person laks in speaking english fluently...i dont understand in such a case they should focus on candidates ability in accounts, taxation and related fields.....i am sorry to say but these days companies' criteria of selection have become ridiculous...they focus more on candidates looks and english if he/she lacks it they demoralize them by saying u dont know this u dont know that we require this....

20 November 2012 It is a very very long time debate, my dear. MBAs versus CAs. The debate started as early as 1975-76. Interesting to note that as of now, more number of MBAs are at the helm of the affairs of corporate world than CAs. (Exceptions are always regarded as "proving the rule". CA has to be merrily equipped with what MARKET wants rather than what that CA wants. Your views please.

21 November 2012 now what i can say...so the conclusion is a candidate should work on his/her looks and english rather than other technical aspects so that they can get a good job offer...because today this exactly market requires...right?

21 November 2012 "in addition to" OR "in stead of"... Choice is yours. I normally prefer "in addition to" to "in stead of". Good english, presentable looks, proper dress code..... are "in addition to" being a CA. Let us not underestimate MARKET by saying that it needs only "make up" rather than "contents." It wants "contents, substance, knowledge" with other soft skills.

21 November 2012 Friends., both of you are professional.., so behave like one..

And specially "anonymous"., see there are some loopholes wid every CA student, regarding his or her presentation skills, and because of this that person's technical skills are underestimated..

I would say, we should just accept the fact.. When a CA enters any company, he is not dealing with internal staff, but also with external people. He becomes, kinda representative of the company, for its banks, government offices, vendors, customers, etc..

Hence, it is necessary, that apart from having just good technical knowledge or skills., a person, should possess presentation skills too..
