I cleared both the parts of cma us in 2025, and it's been two months since I completed, I am seeing vary rare job postings for cma's and that too with the minimum requirement of 3-5 years experience, as a fresher and a bachelor of commerce graduate from India it is very difficult to find even entry level jobs,  I am confused.any career guidance will be appreciated thanks in advance 

Dear Varun

First of all, congratulations on successfully completing your CMA, this is a special achievement in your life. When it comes to a Job, i would advise you to not loose patience. Make sure you are having an updated LinkedIn profile where you are very active, you can check your SSI and try to improve it. Make sure you apply to all the suitable job roles and just for CMA US openings, you just need to be shortlisted for an interview. While you do this and apply for as many roles possible, ensure that you apply with relevant Resumes (check youtube for video guides on updating your resumes for each job roles separately and using keywords to help getting shortlisted).

However make sure that you do not compromise your value just for the sake of getting a role, make sure that you get the value that you deserve for both your B Com degree and the CMA certification. In the meanwhile ensure you do some trainings and certifications to enhance your profile so that you stay updated and get the necessary amount of CPE credits to maintain your membership with IMA.
