Customer Service Representative at IRS

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Atlanta, GA Nov 2010 – Reviewed Nov 18, 2011

Interview Details – The hiring process took such a long time (4-6 months). To my surprise, there was no formal interview with a recruiter or manager probably due to the fact that they were hiring 200 people. Most communications were by email: invite to take customer service test, background check, etc.

Negotiation Details – There was no room for negotiations regarding the pay.

Customer Service Representative at IRS

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Andover, MA Sep 2010 – Reviewed Nov 7, 2011

Interview Details – First there is an online test taken over the internet. If you score high enough on the test you will receive a call a couple weeks later. Then you come into the service center for a TAPS test. You will be given a packet with 4 possible people who might call you. Then you get one practice phone call followed by the real graded phone call. You need to use the information in front of you to answer the 3-4 questions that you will be asked. Everyone is given the same scenario for fairness in grading but they won't tell you that until after all interviewees are finished.

Interview Question – Questions range from: When will I get my refund? When will I have to make payments? What penalties might I face?   View Answer

Negotiation Details – none
