To boost its workforce and better help taxpayers and businesses, the IRS is looking to hire more than 4,000 contact representative positions at several IRS offices nationwide this summer. A contact representative provides administrative and technical assistance to individuals and businesses primarily over the phone, through written correspondence or in person. The IRS is hosting five virtual recruitment events in June, as well as in-person direct hiring events in six cities and Puerto Rico.
In-person events
In-person events will be held mostly in June, are open to the public and will be held in the following cities: Andover, Mass.; Atlanta, Ga.; Philadelphia, Pa.; Fresno and Oakland, Calif.; Brookhaven, N.Y.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Memphis, Tenn.; and Caguas, Puerto Rico. Registration for these and more can be found on the IRS careers page.
Interested job seekers are encouraged to bring their resumé and two forms of identification (i.e., state driver's license and/or state identification card, birth certificate, U.S. passport, military ID or Social Security card). Qualified applicants will receive tentative job offers at the in-person events.
Preregistration is recommended and social-distancing is required to attend the in-person job fairs. Per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, mask wear is optional for these job fair sites. For complete details on the virtual events and to register to attend one of the in-person events, visit: jobs.irs.gov/events.
The IRS is an equal opportunity employer. All employees must be U.S. citizens, pass an FBI fingerprint check and tax compliance verification, and meet the mandatory education, training, and experience qualification requirements.
