Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They questions were very basic. Tell me about yourself and why the IRS.
I would say that the interview process was extremely formal and stringent. The representatives that interviewed me were very sarcastic and we're clearly looking for specific answers. If those were not the answers, you were immediately disqualified.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at IRS in Jun 2010
Interview
Interviewed by a panel of 3 people. Did not take very long. Questions were very tax technical. There were also quite a few questions asked regarding basic accounting concepts (ledgers, financial statements, tax returns, etc) Interviewers were very nice. Did not know the answers to all of the questions.
