Internal Revenue Service

New announcement for CI opened: https://www.usajobs.gov/...ob/ViewDetails/625233300

The announcement mentions 700 vacancies, 226 PODs.

Something to note: "Due to a change in testing requirements, scores rendered prior to 12/1/2021 will no longer be valid."

As I've mentioned before, if you want to apply, make sure you read the announcement in detail, and prepare your resume accordingly. HR will not infer anything from your resume. That is something that has been stressed in the virtual job events.

I will look into it and find out.

Applied 12/4, received link for assessment 12/4, took assessment 12/5. Do you expect to normally hear back that quickly?

Thanks dubyac, I had a saved search but this posting did not come up. I interviewed for the hiring in 2019 & 2020. I was not selected in 2019. The week before the 2020 interview I realized I did not meet the vision requirement. I had Lasik performed this summer so I'll try again.

This new posting has telework eligible as no, while all the previous had yes, did something change?

assessment was the exact same. Interested to see if the KASE exam has changed at all.

Oh boy. While we telework, we are in the field A LOT and half the time it's not scheduled field work like an RA. And while we have been on telework due to COVID, I need to still go into the office to print, mail stuff, for meetings, etc. Even more so, I spend plenty of time at the prosecutors office, conducting interviews, and going to court. If you think telework means you will be sitting comfortably in your house 3-5 days a week, I promise anyone who will ask, it is not. You will be a rookie agent that needs to learn the job which means you will not be teleworking often even if telework policy remains as it is. When we are recalled back to the office, you will probably be in the office more than anyone else. Rookie agents in my office go into the office pretty much daily unless they are out in the field anyway.

If telework is your hill to die on then CI is definitely not for you. Even when we had telework, there were no set days and it was telework, as needed, with a maximum for 2 days a pay period. The prior chief tried getting rid of that telework policy.

Based on your comment before you edited it I’m not sure you understand the position. CI operates differently than the IRS as a whole.

As a RA hired during mandatory telework it was a bad experience. We still haven’t had all of our training, the OJI experience was hugely lacking, and I know none of my group.

I just started a job as a revenue officer. Do I have to stay in that position a year before I can apply for other positions? Or could I leave to this job if I am God willing selected? Please help any information would be appreciated.

You can leave. No rational manager would expect you to stay. Good luck!
