WASHINGTON, DC — The Internal Revenue Service announced today that it is looking to fill hundreds of full time and seasonal openings at its Memphis, Tennessee Processing Center. From this in-person, direct hiring event, potential new hires could be considered for an on-the-spot job offer and possibly begin working within 45-60 days.
The event will be held Thursday, August 18th from 9 a.m.to 5 p.m. at the Renasant Convention Center, 255 N Main Street, Memphis, TN 38103. It is open to the public. Walk-ins are welcome.
Interested job seekers should bring their resumé, college transcripts if applicable and two forms of identification (i.e., state driver’s license and/or state Identification card, birth certificate, U.S. Passport, Military ID card or Social Security card). Applicants are also urged to set up a USAJOBS account before arriving.
These clerk and tax examiner positions are basically entry-level and do not require prior tax expertise. Starting pay begins at $15.61 per hour and goes up from there. The IRS offers competitive pay and benefits, which include steady, set work schedules, paid vacations, and paid sick days. There is on-the-job training and opportunities for advancement.
