I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IRS (Tampa, FL)
Interview
Brief. You will be asked situational questions to determine how you would react in certain uncomfortable scenarios. They will also ask about your organizational skills with questions about how you would handle multiple appointments or meetings, or pressing deadlines. Sometimes this can be done in as little as five questions or ten. Depends on the panel which is typically 2-3 managers. Depending on the time frame you will be interviewing with several other individuals meaning you will possibly have the opportunity to converse with other potential candidates before walking in. You will possibly also be given a pen and paper in which to write down any questions or thoughts that pop up during the interview.

I attended a direct hiring career event for LB&I in April 2024. I was interviewed by a panel of 3 senior revenue agents, they asked me behavioral questions (tell me about a time when you faced a stressful situation, tell me about a time when you had to juggle multiple deadlines, etc.) and also questions on which tax forms I had experience with.

1. Describe difference between a temporary and permanent adjustment. 2. Which schedule in the tax return pertains to the Balance Sheet 3. How would you prepare to start an audit.
SLOW. From submitting my resume to an interview went quick, job offer was slow. In person interview was just six-questions, but still lasted an hour. Both people from the IRS were very friendly though.
