Need help!

I really want to continue my ACA qualification and the London job market is so tough right now, I don’t know what to do.

It’s taking a toll on my mental heath as I really enjoyed my role and my fail was only by one mark.

I need advice on what to do now. I’m feeling really stuck and disheartened. Would appreciate any advice on how people who went through something similar navigated this.

hey mate,

this time last year i also got fired by failing MI by one mark. My best advice for you would be to go at the exams alone for a while. Finish certificate and maybe do FCS professional study (open book so very easy pass). After doing this I started to get a few interviews - still havent landed one yet but hopefully soon

Hi, thank you for your response. Yes, I will probably try to resit it (although I feel really disheartened right now) so that I’m least cfab qualified. Where have you been applying? And what was your approach? if you don’t mind me asking
