When you have decided an appropriate research design, the next step is to consider data sources to gather information. You can choose either human sources such as quantitative surveys and qualitative case studies or use non-human sources such as existing statistics and documents. But first having an in-depth understanding of both so as to make a wise decision is suggested.

Human data sources
One of the most significant decisions that you need to make when using human subjects in your research is whether it relates to the sample selected to represent your chosen population. You have two sampling techniques: probability sampling that is used for quantitative research and non-probability sampling that is used for qualitative research.

The aim of descriptive quantitative is to give the most accurate description of a trend. You can ask every member of the relevant population to collect data, but this is not possible. That is why probability sampling is used for quantitative research. There are three types of probability sampling: random sampling, systematic random sampling, and stratified random sampling.

In the random sampling method, subjects are chosen randomly with the assumption that any element has the same chance as any other of being included in the sample. In systematic random sampling, the subjects are chosen consistently. For instance, every second name or every seventh person. A stratified random sampling selects subjects randomly from categories.

Non-probability sampling methods are used when you have to expand your understanding of an event. The most common methods that fall under this sampling type are purposive samples, theoretical samples, quota sampling, convenience sampling, and snowball sampling.

Non-human data sources
You can also collect your data from existing sources if you are not considering humans for the collection of your data. However, you still have to ponder over the types of these sources. Here are the existing sources that you can consider for data collection.
  • Existing statistics
  • Documents such as portfolios, textbooks, timetables, curriculum plans
  • Archival sources such as old published documents, letters, ledgers, diaries, workbooks, minutes of meetings
  • Visuals like paintings, sketches, photographs, maps, logos, symbols, and computer-generated images
  • Audiovisuals such as tape recordings, video recordings, radio broadcasts, films, dramatic representatives
  • The internet, for instance, educational sites, govt. Sites, organisation sites

​So go on and re-think on your research parameters and choose its ingredients wisely and in a well-informed manner.

Planning for Interview
Planning for Interview the first phase of planning. In this phase, gather all the information about the interview like will be any test before the interview, how many candidates will be competing against you, confirm the venue and time of the interview, etc. Next, check the complete information about the company and its history. You should be good at doing your homework. Practice/ Rehearse the general and common interview questions. Also, you can refer to the various books to get the bunch of interview questions. Other than the information, one should memorize everything about their skills, training, and experience.

Gathering/ Preparing the Interview Materials
Lookout for all the documents which are mandatory for the interview. Prepare a file of all the documents, in order to represent it to the interviewer. Apart from the mandatory documents, carry multiple numbers of resume, so that you can provide your resume to each interviewer. Also, carry a reference list and letters of recommendation, if any. These things will support your resume. Whenever you are going for an interview, never forget to carry a pen and paper.

During the Interview
The next phase of the CA Interview Tips and Skills is the standards which one should follow during the interview. Whenever you are entering the interview hall, keep a check on the following things:


  • Ask for the permission before entering the interview room.
  • Greet the panel of interviewers (all together).
  • ​Keep standing until the interviewer offers you a seat.
  • Introduce yourself with a sincere smile on the face.
  • Maintain eye contact.
  • Sit still and don't let the chair dance.
  • Never place your bags/ documents on the interviewer's table until asked. Keep them beside you or on the extra chair. Keeping the things on the lap is also not right.
  • Never sit with cross legs.
  • Answer the questions in a firm, clear, and confident voice.
  • Dress gently according to the dress code of the interview with polished black shoes.
  • Set your hairs to a well-groomed hairstyle.
  • If in an interview you are asked about your articles experience, never say things as you worked under pressure or there was a load of work.
  • Chartered accountants are suggested to use the term "Member of ICAI" instead of ACA or FCA. Never use the word "sorry" in the interview. In case, if you have made any mistake, accept the mistake but not by saying sorry.
  • You are strictly advised to avoid the works like "basically", "actually", "don't get me wrong", "frankly speaking", etc during the interview.
  • Never make the interviewer repeat his question, therefore be very attentive during the interview. Avoid touching the face, nose, hairs, etc during the interview. This shows that you are lacking in confidence.
  • If you have the know the name of the interviewer, then call him by his name like Anuj Sir.
  • Always concentrate on your strength instead of weakness.

After the Interview or Follow-up of Interview
After appearing in the interview, if you feel that the interview was great or above average, then wait for the result or else start preparing again. Learn from the mistakes which you made during the interview and never repeat them again. Also, you may look to write a letter/ Email to the interviewer for giving their valuable time to interview you. Also, state your interest in the job.
