Ans: It is important to have a strategy to demonstrate your abilities, refresh your knowledge, and impress potential employers when returning to the field of finance and accounting after an absence. You can address the gap in employment by bringing it up in interviews or on your CV. Earn the appropriate credentials by taking classes in areas like tax analysis, financial modeling, and accounting software. Revamp your LinkedIn profile and resume to emphasize your technical abilities and expertise as a finance executive. Use LinkedIn to make the correct connections. On your break, make sure to include any online classes or freelance job you may have. Investigate options for working remotely. Create a strategy to network through LinkedIn, joining groups pertaining to finance, and going to career fairs. Apply for employment more targetedly by making one-of-a-kind resumes and cover letters, highlighting relevant talents, and thinking about freelance or temporary work. Make sure you're well-prepared for interviews by reviewing your previous work, practicing how to operate remotely, and addressing any gaps in your employment. Everyone, no matter how much experience they have, has trouble finding a job and often uses the wrong tactics. You should, if at all feasible, hire a career coach with expertise in "Job Search Strategies," such as Vikram Anand. Further assistance in determining the best way to search for jobs that fit your profile can be provided by them. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Greetings to Gurus, I am student from Kolkata,West Bengal. I have completed my ISC in year 2020 from Commerce stream without maths. I am from Lower Middle Class Family, finance is big issue for me. After ISC I enrolled in B.COM(Hons) course from a college under Calcutta University. I was ambitious of being Chef from childhood. But during Covid times and finance problem, I haven't pursued. During my college life, My first three semesters completed online in Covid period, after the lockdown period, my fourth semester got offline and I just passed in one paper out of 4 and then my 5th semester exam got cleared after that I appeared for rest 3 papers of sem 4 and cleared 2 papers and in sixth semester cleared 3 paper out of 4. Again in 2024, I appeared for 6th sem 1 backlog paper and cleared it but don't able to clear 4th sem one backlog paper. So, I have started my UG in year 2020 but not able to clear it till 2024 because of 1 paper(Taxation) and I have last option to reappear in 2025 examination. I want to earn good in my life, suggest me some opportunities and a way to get out from this loop. Mentally getting depress also.
Ans: Hello! First of all, I really appreciate that you're sharing your situation openly. I understand that you're going through a tough time, but I want to assure you that there are always ways to move forward. You are not stuck, and there are opportunities for you to earn well and build a good career.
Step 1: Clear Your B.Com Degree (Important)
You have only one backlog paper (Taxation) left. Make it your #1 priority to clear this in 2025 because having a degree will open more opportunities.
You already passed all other subjects, so just focus on this one. If needed, get help from a tutor or YouTube courses on Taxation.
ccounting & Taxation (?25,000 - ?60,000 per month)
Since you already studied B.Com, this is a natural career path.
Learn Tally, GST Filing, Income Tax Filing.
Free courses: Government’s NPTEL, YouTube (Search “GST Filing Course India”)
I believe in you. Take the first step today! Your situation will improve within 1 year.
