A Career at the IRS Adds Up

If you are looking for a new job or a career change, consider the IRS. No matter what your professional specialty, the IRS offers a variety of full-time careers or seasonal job opportunities in many U.S. cities.

Add it up. At the IRS you can excel with one of the world's largest financial institutions and be part of one of the most well trained professional workforces anywhere. A career at the IRS has its advantages: flexibility, job security, advancement opportunities and great benefits. It all adds up.

So, where do you get information about careers, benefits, training and life at the IRS? You�ll find what you�re looking for on IRS.gov in the �Careers� section.

When you�re ready, applying for an IRS position is easy. Instead of filling out piles of paper to send in the mail, you can apply on-line through USAJOBS. Search for current IRS job announcements and apply by following these four easy steps:

  1. Go to www.usajobs.opm.gov.
  2. Click �Search Jobs�. In the Keyword Search box, type: �Internal Revenue Service.� Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the �Search for Jobs� button. A list of currently available IRS Job Announcements will appear.
    Click on the Job Announcement you�re interested in to learn about its duties, qualification requirements and available locations.
  3. When you�re ready to apply, scroll to the bottom of the Job Announcement and click �Apply Online� to post your resume.
  4. Remember, you never have to pay a fee to apply for an IRS job. From time to time you may see ads advising readers to call for an application and job information. The ads claim that they will send you the information you need to apply for an IRS position. The truth is, anyone seeking information regarding employment at the IRS can have it, free for the asking. All of our positions are posted at www.usajobs.opm.gov.
