FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — Potential job seekers still have a chance to work for the IRS at the direct hiring event in Downtown Fresno.
The IRS will host a direct hiring event for seasonal term Contact Representative positions to fill more than 200 vacancies at the Fresno Service Center on Wednesday.
The event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Fresno Convention and Entertainment Center, 848 M St., Fresno, CA 93721.
The event is open to the public, but interested candidates must first apply to be pre-qualified.
Those who are pre-qualified will be eligible to attend the in-person event, receive a tentative job offer, and complete several pre-employment steps, such as fingerprinting.

Priority consideration will be given to job seekers who registered and then applied to the exclusive job posting before the event.
As an IRS Contact Representative, employees will research multiple computer-based programs and resources to provide tax-related assistance to Americans over the phone.
