Irs 1811

[readte12]

Just received my rating for the recent IRS CI external posting. I was a B--Highly Qualified. Since the posting says that the A--Superior candidates must first be exhausted before the next category's candidates will be brought through, I just wanted to see if anyone had personal insight on this process. I think I remember something like the first 250 qualified candidates.....How many Bs or Cs actually have a chance to get hired? How many SA positions, roughly, are going to be filled across the country?

Any info would be great! Thanks

Woeee! Congrats! What is your background?

I actually applied as a fluke... I didn't think I would get the "Superior Qualified (A)" rating.

I have my MBA in Corporate Finance and work in Security Risk Management at a Bank. I don't have my CPA though so I didn't think it would be enough. But like any other job, I figured it certainly couldn't hurt to submit my app... Guess so far I was right.

I applied under the "whats the worst that can happen doctrine".. Received superior qualified rating, but was not among the first 250.No financial degrees but have done financial investigations...

My question is......are they taking the first 250 applicants with the superior rating, or the first 250 applicants that are qualified at any level??? How do you do a "first come, first served" hiring process instead of taking the most qualified people?!

I would assume they're going to start w/ the 1st 250 applicants w/ a superior rating. Then exhaust all other applicants in the superior rating group. Once they're are done w/ them move on to group B and then C if they need to...

I heard this story about airline pilots, but it seems to apply here. The chief pilot walks in to his office and sees 2 stacks of resumes. The secretary tells him that those are the resumes for the pilots who applied for the new position. The chief pilot promptly picks up one of the stacks and drops it in the trash can. When the secretary asks why, the chief pilot says "Because I don't want some unlucky SOB working for me."

Anyway, good luck to you all.
