Dear Colleague,

This message is intended for internal IRS employees however I'm passing 
along this information so you can inform people with disabilities about 
numerous job opportunities at the IRS. The internal links will not work 
however USAJobs.gov has similar information on their site. You can also 
visit IRS Careers

@ http://jobs.irs.gov/home.html
and be sure to click the "What's Hot" link

Any interested applicants with disabilities, including veterans with
disabilities, can always contact me for more information. Thanks -
Richard

Subject: Enforcement Hiring Initiative

Earlier this month, the Commissioner
announced
  a significant increase in our fiscal year 2009 budget. As a result, the
agency is undertaking its largest hiring initiative in recent memory.

Numerous recent and upcoming job postings are offering many career
advancement opportunities for your consideration. This year the IRS is
hiring hundreds

of revenue agents, revenue officers, tax compliance officers, customer
service representatives, and others.

To make it easier for you to apply and help us process the expected high
volume of applications, some changes are being made beginning with
revenue agent

vacancies posting on April 6.

Revenue Agent Vacancy Announcements Open April 6

We are pleased to announce that the April 6 Career Opportunities List
(COL)
will include hundreds of revenue agent vacancies in more than 100
locations in four categories:

o       GS-5/7/9/11         (SB/SE and TEGE)

o       GS-12                   (SB/SE, TEGE and Appeals)

o       GS-12/13             (SB/SE and LMSB)

o       GS-13                   (SB/SE, TEGE, LMSB and Appeals)

We encourage all qualified employees to consider these exciting revenue
agent career opportunities - and the many other positions to follow on
future COLs.

To streamline the process, persons who want to apply for more than one
business unit or location will only need to submit one application per
category.

You will be able to indicate the locations and business units that you
would like to be considered for when you submit the single application.

Applications for the GS-5/7/9/11 entry-level positions will be submitted
on Forms 4536 and 9686 using the standard process.  In general, the
entry-level

requirement for revenue agents is 30 semester hours of accounting
coursework.

In a change to past procedure, applications for the GS-12 and GS-13
positions will be submitted through
USAJOBS
. This will enable us to process and fill the jobs in the most
expeditious manner. Though the announcements are not yet open,
interested applicants can

get familiar with
USAJOBS
  and start the process now by:

o       visiting
USAJOBS,

o       creating a My USAJOBS account, and

o       building a resume.

All of the April 6 revenue agent announcements are being posted
simultaneously internally and externally. This will help us fill the
vacancies in the most

prompt manner. But, consistent with our desire to provide career
advancement within the IRS, internal candidates will continue to be
provided first consideration.

Finally, some of you may have recently applied for other revenue agent
vacancies on the COL. If so, you will still be considered for those
positions. However,

in order to be considered for the future positions, you should also
submit an application for the April 6 announcement(s).

To learn more about these job openings and how to apply, visit the
Enforcement Hiring Center Webpage
  where you'll find announcement numbers, qualification information,
search tips and step-by-step
USAJOBS
  instructions (for those of you applying for GS-12 or 13 positions).

This scale of advancement opportunities for our current workforce is
unprecedented and exciting. Equally energizing is the prospect of many
new employees

joining us in the months ahead. We want to thank you for the work you do
each day to administer our nation's tax laws, and wish each of you
applying for

new positions the best of luck in your career aspirations.
