Why only 1/2 attempt cleared CA selected for good job?

Hi friends,

Let me share a example of one of my friend. I can't write his name here but let he be Mr.X. So Mr. X has appeared in Campus Placements Feb-March 2010. A lot of company shown interest in him. But in Maximums, he got rejected due to the number of attempts he has taken to clear CA. There he found one of his collegue let Mr. Y. Mr Y has cleared CA in 2nd attempt both grp. But Mr Y was an associate of Mr X in his firm. As told by Mr. X that Mr Y even dont have any practical exposure, not of tally, excel or SAP. He only knows where to quote sections and notifications. Mr Y hasnt been to any audit, hasn't prepared any report etc.

Finally Mr X get selected in a company let ABC, where his gross CTC is 5.42lacs p.a as Assistant Manager (Credit). He was discussing the same with some of his collegues in office, then Mr Y enters with sweets. He told that he got offer from top MNC i.e ABC at a package of 8.56 Lacs as a Manager(Credit) and he has accepted the offer.

So from 1st Aug 2010 both are joing and Mr X will now report to Mr Y.

 

So for a company number of attempts counts but not knowledge or experience???????

Need your valuable contributions.............................

Thanks

its not correct, have u heard that any MNC thaat they selected those guys who cleared in 5th attempt instead of 1st attempt CA. No. Ye sab bolne ki baatein hai. In interview they ask how many attempts n if u said 4 or 5, they will kick u out, coz they think that you r a slow guy

all this attempts and all matter only for the 1st job ..... later its all ur talent

i dont agree with you mr shashank

Its not just that u say i agree or i disagree. but what my friends have experienced and what i use to see in ad of job vacancies, thats what i told u all. Go through job ads u will find that all top  companies need only cream either ranker or cleared in utmost 2 attempts.

It is quite but natural that any employer will prefer a CA who passed with minimum attempts.it is only for the first job as my friend mentioned.After initial entry , he has to prove his mettle if he has to survive in the job and if he fails to satisfy the employer , he will be forced to quit in due course or soon.

i agree but dont u think its unfair.........as i told you all that now Mr X will assist Mr Y.........so i think for campus placements they should not compare caliber of CA by rank or attempts rather by knowledge.

plz suggest that how MNC's can test the real metal of candidate in

first meeting itself?

WORLD IS INFINITY

JOBS ARE PLENTY

IN LONG RUN...MR x may overtake Mr  y

it all depends on his calibre,

@ ashish

nowadays co appoints by mere telephonic discussion, even they dont c u. same was with me 2. So then u will ask how co. can judge u on just 30 min of telephonic interview. Smart recuriter have some analytical question which they will throw at u n if u able to convince him then u will be on board. If u will go to some comp., they will first take written test of journal entry or finalization. They dont presumes that if u r a CA then u knw all these.

 

So its depends upon the recuriter how they judge u.

Well Mr. Shashank I totally agree with you. No of attempts does affect the selection between candidates irrespective of their practical knowledge.

But needless to tell you that it happens mostly in an Industry and particularly in an Non accounting department. I agree with you that they donot bother your past experience. But the work portfolio which they offer in BIG industry doesnt require much experience in your very first break (according to them). They themselves train and groom the candidate. 

By holding this assumptions, the experience factor scores a very low weightage and thereby concentrating on the academics and the extra smartness.

 

Apart form that according to a survey, around 5% of your Content knowledge is useful rest all is the soft skills for the success...

So dont worry for the first break, its all about the hidden potentialities and the application of knowledge, communication, ethics, humanity and ofcourse your Hard Work................

Mr Shashank is correct....

My one Friend was first attempt and other was second was 3rd...

A co. in campus interview offerd both of them Job but the differance was the Pay scale....

first attempt got 7.02 Lacs+ bonus which will be come to near by 9lacs and the other got 6 Lacs + Bonus which will come to 7.2Lcas...

This is just one example... i had seen many such persons which were offer less due to nimbers of attempts.

The one thing is clear here that: Your Salary is INVERSELY REALEATED to ur numbers of attempts.

This Companies really try to judge the Students on basesof no. of attempts ....

Yeah. But the Story does not end by GETTING a job, you need talent to CONTINUE with it for say 50 yrs or so, ie till you retire. If you dont know the basics, you will be shifting jobs without actually holding on and GROWING in life.

50yrs? nobody retires at 72-75!!!
