I am into my 3rd Year of articleship and from the experience i have received in the past 2 years i,m not sure whether i will get a job in the Corporate Sector.

I have done Tax Audits (Mainly Partnership firms and Proprietorship Firms), VAT Audits, Service Tax Returns, TDS Returns, VAT Returns,Bank Audits (Concurrent as well as Statutory), Stock Audits and Government Audits.

I just dont feel i have enough experience to get a job in the Corporate Sector. Like i have not done a single Internal Audit. Since Mine is a medium size firm i wont be able to get much more experience than this in the 3rd year also.

I dont have any knowledge about SAP, Internal Audit Procedures as well as Finance Matters of a Company.Also i have not done any Excise Related Matters.

So i would like to know whether Articleship Experience is a big factor during Job Interviews and if tats the case Can any1 suggest me what can i do?

And i know Industrial Training is an option but my Principal is Strictly against it.
