No Offer – Interviewed in Jul 2010 – Reviewed Jul 23, 2010
Interview Details –
Applied on-line at USAjobs.gov, got a Notice of Results, then got a panel interview. From initial application to the interview, took 8 months. That's typical, anytime I call to check on the status the person at the IRS would advise me to be patient.
The core of the interview consists of 5 questions, 3 about accounting and 2 about IRS forms
