Job Opportunities in IRS Training Program

World Services for the Blind still has openings in three upcoming
training courses in its exclusive IRS program, which offers guaranteed
job placement for graduates. The deadline to begin the 30-day evaluation
for the Service Center Collection Representative (SCCR) and Taxpayer
Service Representative (TSR) courses is May 14, and for the Contact
Collection Representative (CCR) course the deadline is June 18.  There
is still time to submit applications and paperwork for those interested
in joining one of these classes. Below is an overview of each course.

Service Center Collection Representative (SCCR)
This four-month course trains individuals to work as tax examining
technicians. New hires will start at a GS-5 federal pay grade level, and
will have promotion potential to GS-7.  Once on the job, the SCCR will
examine tax returns for accuracy and completeness and follow procedures
to resolve errors or correspond with taxpayers to obtain missing
information.  Extensive reading may be required on the job and while in
training. Training involves the use of the personal computer with
ZoomText. Some telephone work is also included.

We are still in the process of finalizing our job commitments from the
IRS but employment opportunities may be available in the following
cities:  Andover, MA; Atlanta, GA; Austin, TX; Brookhaven, NY;
Cincinnati, OH; Fresno, CA; Kansas City, MO; Memphis, TN; Ogden, UT; and
Philadelphia, PA.  Please note that locations are always subject to
change, and not all offices will be hiring.

Taxpayer Service Representative (TSR)

This five-month course trains individuals to work in the Customer
Service Division of the IRS.  New hires will start at a GS-5 federal pay
grade level, and will have promotion potential to GS-8.  Once on the
job, TSRs respond to incoming telephone inquiries regarding tax law,
adjustments to taxpayer accounts and general service procedures. The
individual will analyze and resolve tax processing problems, provide
information and recommend action on all types of individual and/or
business accounts. Extensive reading may be required on the job and
while in training. Training involves the use of the personal computer
with ZoomText or JAWS and Braille Display.

potential levy sources and taxpayer whereabouts in order to encourage
voluntary compliance with federal tax laws, and initiate corrective
