I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at IRS (Kansas City, MO) in May 2023
Interview
There really isn't an interview process. They do theses large virtual or in person hiring events where they just make sure to meet the educational requirements. No experience needed; you need to be able to pass a federal background check.
I applied online. I interviewed at IRS (Austin, TX) in Feb 2026
Interview
I went to the hiring event. The process took a couple of hours, due to the waiting, but If you passed the first stage regarding the resume, which was at least 2 years working experience, you were eligible to move forward. I had a 1 minute interview where he described the job and asked if that sounded like something I wanted to do.
Live hiring events are a cattle call. As long as you don't have a felony or on current probation you will most likely get hired. Easy process to get hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None. Just want to know if you can work certain shifts.
There's no interview for most grade 5 jobs. They have a assessment that took 15 mins they let you know if you passed through email. Same for clerk jobs. In austin texas
