Dear Sir
I want to add my view on why MNC Prefer the C.A passed out in single attempt against the people with number of attempts in spite of their comparatively higher knowledge.
I want to put an example of a film :
There was a film starring Farrukh Shekh, Naseerudin shah and Deepti naval, Their character was as under
Naseerudin Shah – Depicted as tortoise, very hard worker, very gentle, and ideal man, with all the characteristics of Lord Rama, In office her colleague used to transfer their work to him which he would do without complaining, He always tried to go by rules, He even does not respond to flirting or here women colleagues. He secretly like a girl Deepti Naval her neighbor .
Farookh Sheikh – He was shown as rabbit. He was a old friend of Naseerudin. Who was recently appointed in naseer’s office, He was the person who was completely westernized in his dress senses, very good communicator much like metro city guy. He was very low in knowledge of his work . Still with in a week ha has gained access to director office and from that in to his house and finally into the heart of director’s director and wife, he was a true flirt with no morals. All his office work was done by naseer sitting late in office.
Deepti Naval – A simple middle class girl who used to visit nasser’s house some time.
Now Farookh started visiting at naseer house, there he started showing interest in deepti naval, Naseer told him she is very good girl and he can not play game with her.
Farookh challenged him and with in 1-2 week deepti was won by farookh,
Where as Naseer has all the quality of what a girl want still he could not propose her and at the same time with in a month of interaction a girl gave heart to a unknown charming man.
Naseer watch this silently but could not do any thing because he does not have those qualities require to won some body’s heart, what he has is definitely solid but comes secondary.
Now you put as
FAROOKH – C.A pass out in first attempt
Good communicator , Good Planner, Risk taker, Leader, High Confidence
Low Knowledge, Low Reliability, Opportunistic, Low loyality
Deepti - MNC ( Need to be enticed. Mystry )
NASEER - C.A Pass out in many attempts ,
hard worker, high in knowledge
Low in communication, Poor Planner, Poor Resources. Low Confidence
Small Town Student ( Majority ),
Now what MNC Want
She wants person with following quality
First of All
A CA DEGREE with First Attempt
That Farookh get by Dummy Article or Coaching from Good Teacher or any other means. But he gets by his Smartness or in some cases by Hard Work..
High Confidence
( Most of M.N.C Managers in Finance either have to take work from their subordinates or handle Govt Authorities , ( They have to handle Excise, Taxation Authorities every next month ) or clients in some sectors )
Here Person’s Confidence becomes prime Factor and Knowledge comes secondary.
With this confidence Farookh was able to Court Deepti
Good communicator
He know what Deepti ( MNC ) wants , He is able to present his strong Points and hide his low points if front of her.
With his Good communication skill ( Flattery ) he could hit the core of Deepti’s heart with naseer could not do in years.
Good Strategist
If person is 1st attempt CA pass out, see he is able to identify his strength and weakness, he knows where and how to over come his weakness, who is the best teacher in accounts, how to access him.
He will be a dummy for later years for article ship, he will definitely do article ship for some time in initial year to get a taste. He will save his energy and time by opting for dummy in later years.
He is flexible in his approach, A caculated risk taker.
In this way he will utilize his resources efficiently,
When a person fails in any attempt, this shows some lack of preparation in some quarter of his strategy. ( Luck factor is ignored )
When MNC is not compromising on Compensation the why they will compromise on a poor planner or communicator, or Confidence
In this thread one first time CA pass out has said he did not get placement due to poor communication skill
Now who has stopped that CA to work on his communication Skill, when middle standard pass 18 years Guide can speak fluently with tourist in Agra or Rajasthan
WHY CAN NOT A CA can work on his this weakness.
As a Indian We are full of highly competent people, Competition is very tough here, One wrong decision at Secondary Stage can rarely be amended in later stage of life.
So once gone in to battle you have to master all the aspects of war, why expects discount,
Acquire those skills that requires in today’s world apart from Knowledge that can also come by experience later on.
Read Business Magazines, be in the Company of Main Stream, watch English movies, see discovery channels, do what today’s people do,
Most importantly do not isolate from main stream in pursuit of knowledge.
Today one has to be Complete in all aspects .
