IRS Criminal Investigator

[LadyKiller]

Anyone else get in on the IRS 1811 opening that closed June 4? It was only open for two days. Announcement said 200 openings nationwide. I have already been contacted by them two days after closing of the announcement, shocked to say the least. Anyone know anything about this gig and the process? Thanks.

I'm in. I received the contact after it closed as well, but I wouldn't be shocked, it is just the generic 'your application passed the automated screening system to meet minimum standards' email. It just looks personal due to the email address.

Shot in the dark for me, no accounting experience or anything like that. We shall see, best of luck to all involved.

I also applied. Good luck to all!

I too took a shot in the dark and got the generic email resonse. I have no accounting experience, but I am a current FED LEO and am 3/4 the way through a Master's in Justice Studies w/ a concentration in Cybersecurity. So we shall see. It looks like they want to hire 200 agents off of this announcement, so maybe they will be looking at people with varying types of experience instead of just bean counters.

I threw my name in the hat and also received the same generic email this morning for grades 7 and 9. I also have no accounting experience so I don't really expect to make it any further, but you can't win if you don't play.

[FEDgirl]

Same here, goodluck to all!!

That's a shot in the dark with night vision and a NV Eotech; sounds like the perfect resume for this. Good luck sir

Also got the same email. I think anyone meeting minimum qualifications got the email. I have less than 1 year of auditing experience, and got an accounting degree with SAA just last year. I also have 3 years working in a federal LE agency (non-LEO), as well as military. Lets see what happens.

Huh I thought the email was more promising than that lol. I'm in the same boat as many of you with over 10 years as an leo, Associates Degree, 3 B.S. degrees, and two M.S. degrees. None of my education is in accounting. Good luck to you all 200 openings sounds like good potential. One last question though, did your emails come out of Ohio?

[PHSeaBee]

I also got on board... But is it just me? I saw a 5/7/9 Internal post for the same 200 positions???

Yes, the emails came from HR which is in Ohio. I was rated as a GL-9. Here's to hoping!!!

I'm just an average applicant.

I don't speak FARSI, Mandarin, or Russian or have my PhD in accounting and cryptology. I didn't spend 5 years studying abroad in the horn of Africa. I was not Marines Force Recon. I do not have an IQ of 160. I did not obtain my combination MD/Juris Doctorate, then decide to dedicate myself to a life of public service. I did not complete 3 ultramarathons last year, or participate in the Crossfit Games. I do not have photographic memory. I do not have 30 years of law enforcement experience, I am not the world's foremost expert in computer forensics.

I am just an average guy, and hopefully I have a shot. In the past, average people were hired for 1811 positions, but with the slow down in hiring, it has become very competitive, and people like me, don't make the cut.

i wouldnt assume youve met the qualifications for that grade, other than the bare minimum the initial screening program uses. I got two emails, one for 7 and 9
