Job Prospects

[dancer44]

Roger's job prospects are looking up.  He's in the running for a job with the IRS as a customer service rep.  He applied (actually me) in June and took the on line test in August.  He scored in the Superior qualified group which puts him at the top of the list.   We got an email from the iRS last Friday with a bunch of forms to be filled out and faxed back.  They were all employment forms like the Direct Deposit signup and W-4, but they made sure to state that the email was not a job offer.  Apparently they want all of the forms on file before they do a telephone interview and then make a selection.  I don't think they would go through all that if they weren't actively considering him for the position.  All the forms are in now, so we'll wait for the scheduling of the "telephone assessment".

That is positive, but I got alarms when you mentioned the forms being faxed to someone! At UNM we don't have anyone fill in a W-4 or I-9 until they are hired either; those have confidential info. With the direct deposit signup, that has your banking information on it. I sure hope this isn't a scam!

UNM also doesn't have you FAX any forms to anyone; they are turned in to an HR rep at hire.

I think the IRS is trying to get ahead of the pack. They're hiring for 70 openings, and there's a lot of training involved. I believe they want to get a jump on the paperwork so that the new hires can get right to work. It's the legit IRS site, so I'm sure it's not a scam.
