[Jobs] Question

[PETER ALTSCHUL]

Hi:

I worked for the IRS, and did not have to go through that Lions World 
program; I was trained along with everyone else.

My understanding is that IRs folks interview you towards the end of the 
program, and you must go to the location who is interested in you (meaning 
you have little to no wiggle room).

Peter
