Realistically?

1) You'll need to buy that "A" clarinet

2) You'll need to do an awful lot of excerpt work, along with listening to the excerpts in context

3) You'll need to learn how to sight-read "like a pro"

4) You may be called on to sight transpose

5) You'll be competing with people who haven't stopped playing and have been taking getting an orchestral job very serious for years.

Which means it's going to be really, really hard and the chances of your getting the job slim. Slim but not none. If this is one of those things where you just <b>have</b> to do it, something that you'll regret not doing for the rest of your life, then it's worth doing, whatever the outcome.
