Introduction

Taking a career break after completing your Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) is more common than you think. Whether it was due to personal reasons, further studies, or simply needing a pause, re-entering the job market can feel intimidating. Employers often expect candidates to have up-to-date skills and a relevant career trajectory — but here’s the good news: a career gap does not have to be a roadblock.

With focused planning, smart skill-building, and the right mindset, your B.Com degree can still unlock incredible professional opportunities. This guide will walk you through practical, achievable career restart strategies tailored for B.Com graduates with a gap, ensuring you’re ready to make a strong comeback.

    career restart strategy

    Step 1: Assess Your Skills and Interests

    Before jumping in, you need clarity on what you bring to the table.

    • Revisit the commerce fundamentals you learned — accounting, taxation, business law, economics, and finance.

    • Reflect on what excites you now — maybe you’re drawn to financial analysis, human resource management, or even digital business.

    • Note any technological gaps. For example, are you familiar with modern tools like SAP or cloud-based accounting software?

    This self-assessment will help you set a direction for your upskilling and job search rather than chasing random opportunities.

    Here’s our quick-read on How to Become an Accountant After Graduation.

    Step 2: Invest in Relevant Upskilling

    One of the fastest ways to bridge a career gap is to learn skills employers are actively searching for.
    Today’s commerce roles demand practical know-how in niche areas. This is where professional certifications can make all the difference.

    For example:

    • Accounting courses,like ACCA after B.Com gap to refresh and upgrade your knowledge.

    • PwC accounting training for corporate process know-how.

    • SAP FICO for financial management roles.

    • SAP MM or SAP SD if you want to explore supply chain or sales domains.

    • HR management courses for commerce graduates if you see yourself working in people operations.

    Entri offers a range of such courses taught by experts, with industry-recognised certificates. If you’re returning after a gap, having “SAP FICO training for B.Com graduation” or “PwC accounting course online” on your CV immediately signals that you’re market-ready.

    Enroll in our PwC Edge course to get placed at the Big 4!

    Step 3: Build Practical Experience

    Even before you land a full-time role, start plugging the experience gap:

    • Apply for internships, even short ones — many finance firms and startups are open to career restarters.

    • Volunteer your skills for NGOs or small businesses — offer to handle their accounts or payroll.

    • Take up freelance projects; websites like Upwork and Fiverr list opportunities that commerce graduates can handle remotely.

    Employers value demonstrated capability more than just theory. A three-month practical experience can often outweigh a long gap in your resume.

    Step 4: Refresh Your Resume and LinkedIn Profile

    Your resume is your marketing brochure.

    • Highlight your degree, upgraded skills, certifications, and any recent projects.

    • Position your career gap strategically — frame it as a period of skill enhancement rather than inactivity.

    • Use keywords recruiters look for, such as B.Com career restart, accounting courses after B.Com gap, financial analysis skills, SAP certifications, and HR management courses for commerce students.

    • Keep your LinkedIn profile updated, join finance and commerce groups, and engage with content in your sector.

    Step 5: Rebuild Your Network

    When restarting after a gap, your network can open more doors than job portals.

    • Reconnect with old classmates or professors from your B.Com college.

    • Attend webinars, industry meetups, or commerce-focused workshops.

    • Be active on professional forums, asking thoughtful questions or sharing insights.

    Many job opportunities are filled through referrals — you want to be on people’s radar when such roles open up.

    Step 6: Prepare for Interviews

    Once you start applying, interview prep becomes critical:

    • Revise your core commerce concepts — accounting principles, taxation rules, and business law basics.

    • Be ready to explain your career gap confidently — focus on what you learned (e.g., “During my break, I completed Entri’s SAP FICO course and worked on freelance accounting projects”).

    • Read up on current trends in finance, HR, or data analytics to show you’re industry-aware.

    Overcoming Common Challenges During Career Restart

    Restarting your career after a gap is rewarding but can come with some common hurdles. Recognizing and proactively managing these challenges will keep you motivated and on track.

    • Dealing with Self-Doubt: It’s normal to question your abilities after a break. Remember that your past education, coupled with fresh skills and experience you’re now building, make you a valuable candidate. Focus on your strengths and growth progress.

    • Fear of Rejection: Initial setbacks in interviews or job applications happen to everyone. Treat them as learning opportunities, refine your approach, and keep applying. Persistence pays off in career restarts.

    • Feeling Outdated: Technology and industry trends evolve quickly, which can feel overwhelming. Enrolling in updated courses like Entri’s specialized commerce programs (SAP FICO, PwC Accounting, HR Management) bridges those knowledge gaps and boosts your confidence.

    • Explaining the Gap: When asked, frame your career gap positively by highlighting proactive steps you took, such as upskilling, freelancing, or volunteering. This turns what might seem like a liability into proof of your commitment and drive.

    • Balancing Personal Responsibilities: If your gap was due to family or personal reasons, transitioning back to work can be stressful. Prioritize time management, set realistic goals, and explore flexible or part-time roles initially if needed.
