How To Prepare Resume For CA Articleship?

How To Prepare Resume For CA Articleship?


How To Prepare Resume For CA Articleship?

After completing both group or 1st group of CA IPCC students can join for a 3 year of articleship under any practicing chartered Accountants. When a student goes for searching articleship majority of all chartered accountants ask for a resume. So before preparing there are so many questions arise in anyone's mind regarding what to write in a resume, which details should be given and which should be ignored. See friends a well-organised resume create a positive impact in recruiter's mind so go through the entire article and prepare your resume for articleship in an effective manner which really works.

Obtaining Data To Be Written 


I have seen so many times that students do not remember their marks obtained in their 10th or 12th standards or in some cases in CPT also. so it is the primary thing that you are having all your academic details ready. It is necessary that you are having a xerox copy of all your mark sheets like SSC, HSC specifically prints our of your recent IPCC results.

Design Of Resume


A design of resume for an articleship should as much as simple having minimum number of pages which contain maximum information. Ideally, a fresher of an articleship has a maximum 2 page of the resume. As far as the font is concern use easy to read font like "Arial","Times New Roman","Tahoma". The size of a font in heading 14 or 16 with bold is good and for other text 10 to 12 is enough.

Using Bullet Points


After the declaration of IPCC result every time there is a rush of a student for articleship at chartered accountant's office. No chartered accountant have time to read long paragraphs of text. Make sure to use bullet points to describe your qualifications and achievements.

Language And Information

A resume having a simple and lucid expression with grammatical error free resume create a good impact. Use simple and short sentence instead of long sentences. Do not try to impress your chartered accountant by speaking lie, because a single wrong thing will keep away you from articleship at a good place. As far as information is concern use only relevant information only. Irrelevant information should be strictly avoided. Read, re-read resume to avoid any single grammatical mistakes.

Objective Lines In Resume


An objective line in a resume for a CA articleship is not matter more but still it is tradition to write objective line so write it. No. chartered accountant have time to read objective line of an coming for articleship, in fact IPCC clear student have an only an objective to complete 3 years of articleship with good number of leaves. :-) However objective line should be 15 to 17 words indicating your aim towards getting a particular field or particular area of interest.


Qualifications


Qualification for CA articleship is not very much matter. The majority of chartered accountants prefer articles who have completed both groups of IPCC, as a student who have completed 1st group of IPCC will demand a leave for 2nd group examination. In some of the cases of chartered accountant prefer articles who is not having  regular colleges. In a case of writing qualifications in resume categorized classify qualification into category one for educational qualifications in reverse chronological order means recent one first followed by earlier one and so on and another category for other qualification in which you can mention any other certification course that you have undergone.

Experience


As a newbie to articleship chartered accountant will not expect experience but if you have any experience regarding accounting  than do not forget to mentioned that. Because your chances of getting selected is more if you are having beginner level of experience in Tally or some other accounting packages.


Personal Details


Personal details says who you are ? so clearly mentioned your personal details to enable chartered accountant to know who you are. Personal details contain permanent address and temporary address if your temporary address is different than permanent address, date of birth, nationality, marital status, language known, hobbies etc.

References


References is most important part of resume still it appears on last of resume. Include references of any two well-known personality with good designation better you give references of any chartered accountants. Care should be taken that many of chartered accountants cross check that such person whom references you are giving you is in touch with you or not.

However after reading this long article if you searches for such format which include all above point than your search ends here. Just download format in word format, edit it and share with your friends.


Some facts about articleship :
  • Chartered Accountants are only interested in a number of attempts that you have made to clear IPCC.
  • Chartered Accountants will discuss with you leave that he will give you for your final examinations.
  • Chartered Accountants will convince you to stay for more time in office whether he is having work or not.
  • Chartered Accountants in the majority of cases not article friendly.

Why Mock Tests Are Beneficial for Each CA IPCC Student?



Why Mock Tests Are Beneficial for Each CA IPCC Student?


A brilliant quote said -
“Practice makes a man perfect” 
And CA IPCC mock tests are the way of practicing in a real environment. The professional course CA involves two approaches – classroom study and correspondence study. If any student gets the lowest score in IPCC examination, then he or she lack the classroom study which is the root.
IPCC appearing students are fully focused on studying whether they are going for coaching or doing self-study instead of knowing the actual needs of real examinations.
Do you know, due to continuous study, most of the students forget the revision and as a result their performance goes in decreasing order? Therefore, always give a look on revision schedule in a week so that you can easily remember everything which you studied.

Here are the ways of getting help from Mock Test for better preparation in CA IPCC


  • It is a kind of revision tool that gives the opportunity to recall the entire syllabus before few weeks of the exam. As final exams are coming, students start getting panic due to the feeling of not studied properly and high competition.
  • Before few days of examinations, students comes under the pressurize situation. That time mock tests help to make their real exam easier and stress-free. The reason behind that, these kinds of tests provides similar sample questions that will come in the final so they can take tests for practice and resolve their doubts, confusions. As well as, the fear of getting low marks will also disappear automatically.
  • Time management is also a significant factor in high-level professional course examinations. If you know how to manage your time while you writing the paper then your 50-60% work is almost done. Give IPCC mock tests papers repetitively so that it will help to execute the time management plan effectively.
There are few CA aspirants ignore the importance of mock tests or they don’t due to the lack of awareness of computers and the internet. That is the main reason we are discussing here the benefits of taking IPCC mock tests and also how to motivate the students for it.
When anyone search on the web by mock test papers of CA IPCC so several outcomes will come in just a few seconds. For encouraging the students towards the mock tests, ICAI also advised to all the councils and branches that they have to conduct the tests for IPCC and Final year students. The main reason is to evaluate the preparation level of CA aspirants.
If you think that mock tests don’t help too much for improving the performance so you are wrong. Read success mantras of rank holders carefully, they tell you the effectiveness of such tests. We assure you that after reading their reviews, no one wants to miss the mock tests.

Here are two reasons which describe the ICAI’s mock test helpfulness.

The link provided for taking mock tests are 100% authentic so students will get original sample papers for practicing.
The tests are time bounded so it can also help to manage your time along with solving the questions. Additionally, they will get the mixed bag of questions just like the real examination so it removes the fear of handling it.

By taking the mock test, students will get a fair idea of how to approach and pattern that comes in the examination. Nowadays, papers of IPCC is very lengthy so they should gain a huge amount of confidence while appearing in the exams.
For getting this kind of confidence, people should go via mock tests. A recent study reveals that mostly view the test series after failing in their first attempt because they don’t have the idea of the pattern, the length of questions and rest things.
If you don’t want to miss the mock test series so keep update yourself on it. Further, few individuals think that, if they are not performing well in these series then what they do for improving themselves so they have to practice more on understanding the concepts and analyze their mistakes as we discussed earlier.
Mock tests are very common in this competitive world for high-level professional courses due to its brilliant impact and ability to improve the student’s performance. During final days of preparation (CA IPCC), the series of mock tests which is provided by the ICAI will be beneficial for every aspirant.
