    Dear community members,
                                           I would like to know the type of jobs that I can apply for after passing both parts of CMA but with no work experience. Also what are the specific skills that I should possess that will help me in finding a good job?

    This likely depends on where you live.  Entry level analyst or accountant would be the start point for most of us in the United States.  Without some base level of experience,  most companies will not put you in position of responsibility.  To speed up that process,  volunteer professionally while you're in school to get some additional experience.

    Praveen,

    To find a job 
    - decide the work location ( check if you are ok to relocate or have any specific location in mind )
    - decide the job area which is attracting you, like accounts payable, GL, business analyst, budgeting etc.
    - make a list of prospective companies ( local business newspaper is a good reference to make this list )
    - make your resume and upload it on various job portals and keep your profile updating there as recruiter prefers latest updated profiles only
    - google out the list of recruitment consultants specialized in the job roles you are looking for , send them personalised emails 
    - follow companies and key people on LinkedIn

    Happy job search to you
