Getting hired by top recruiters for CAs is kind of a challenging thing, because many people qualify for CAs each year, and while there are lots of jobs, still everyone wants to work for top firms. These big companies like "Big Four", and large Indian and International businesses often pay good salaries, provide chances to grow, and builds a strong raputation, hence making them an attractive thing to new CAs. 

The CA course is all about accounting, checking finance (audit) and taxes, and looking at the financial information. Also, if you have an eye for detailing and dealing with numbers, then also you will find it easy for you. So, if you are interested about businesses and their account related matters then this course will be a right fit for you.
