First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Internal Revenue Services.
Internal Revenue Agent
It was a panel interview with three people, and they asked me some standard behavioral questions. I used the STAR method to answer. There were about 6 or 7 questions in total. The interview felt pretty casual and friendly, and the interviewers were using their laptops while we talked.
- Can you describe a time you disagreed with your boss and how you handled it?
Customer Service Agent
It's training based. The selection process is based on training, like after 2 weeks of rigorous trainings, assessments will be carried out and the best candidates will be chosen for various positions they qualified for.
- Can you do calculations for tax-related questions?
Tax Examiner
First, I sent in my application online. They looked it over, and it's best to use action words from the job description in your resume. After that, I waited for an email. The interview felt pretty informal and there was a panel of interviewers. It was a quick and simple process.
- Can you tell me about your biggest hardships and weaknesses?
- Are you a team player? Give an example.
