PERSONALISED CA ARTICLESHIP GUIDANCE

Not a ranker.

No big reference.

Cleared CA Intermediate in 2nd attempt.

Still I managed to get shortlisted by Top 20 CA firms.

And today, I’m doing my articleship in one of them.

How?

Just one belief kept me going:

"Agar karna hai, to best hi karna hai."

(Either go for the best, or don’t settle at all.)

Honestly, the process wasn’t easy.

I faced

rejections.

Silence.

Doubts.

But here’s what I learnt (and what helped me stand out):

✅ Keep your resume clean and professional, it’s your first impression

✅ Write short, customised emails

✅ Use LinkedIn wisely

✅ And yes references help, especially for Big 4/6, but they aren’t everything

If you're someone who’s currently applying and feeling stuck

This session is for you.

Lastly, just remember this:

👉 Have patience

👉 Be prepared

👉 Don’t stop trying until it clicks

Because trust me — it will.
