IRS  Contact Collection Representative Program Now  Taking Applications

Employment  opportunities are available now in Internal  Revenue Service 
offices located in the following  cities: Atlanta,  GA; Austin,  TX; Buffalo,  
NY; Fresno,  CA; Jacksonville,  FL; Kansas  City, MO; Puerto  Rico; 
Seattle,  WA. The required evaluation  period for the next Contact  Collection 
Representative career  training program must begin no later than  June  2, 2014. 
For those accepted into  the IRS course, the training will begin on  June  
30, 2014. Evaluation can take place at any time  prior to June  2.

This four-month  course trains individuals who are blind or  visually 
impaired to work for the Internal  Revenue Service in tax collection. Each person 
 selected for the course will be placed in  employment with the IRS upon 
successful  completion of the program. Entry level is GS 5  with promotion 
potential to GS 8. Once on the  job, Contact Collection Representatives respond 
 to incoming telephone calls regarding tax  delinquent cases, adjustments 
to taxpayer  accounts, and general service procedures. The  individual is 
taught how to obtain information  on the taxpayer’s financial status, potential 
 levy sources and taxpayer whereabouts, in order  to encourage voluntary 
compliance with federal  tax laws, and initiate corrective action to  prevent 
future delinquencies. Training at WSB  involves learning the use of the 
personal  computer with ZoomText or JAWS and Braille  display. Students also 
learn technical  information about tax law, regulations and IRS  procedures.

Course qualifications  include good independent living and orientation  and 
mobility skills, and the ability to read  print at 100 wpm with 75-percent 
comprehension  and proficiency with ZoomText, or Braille at 60  wpm with 
75-percent comprehension and  proficiency with JAWS and Braille display.  
Written communication, including keyboarding for  business correspondence and 
filling out forms  with a keyboarding speed of 30 wpm, is required.  A 
12th-grade spelling level is required, as is  the ability to pass a math test using 
a  calculator with 90-percent accuracy. Clients  must also be able to work 
well with people under  pressure. A high school diploma or GED with four  
years of college or equivalent work experience  is required.

Applicants  must be U.S. citizens and are  subject to FBI name and 
fingerprint check,  employment checks, income tax verification for  the past three 
years, and any other information  relevant to selection for employment. Males 
born  after December 31, 1959, must be registered with  the Selective 
Services.
