Why do you want to work in the tax preparation field?
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at H&R Block in Nov 2009
Interview
I took their Basic Tax course, passed the test, and filled out an application. I was impressed with my instructor and thought I would like to try the job on a part-time basis. The area and district managers seemed nice but their dress was not as professional as I would expect.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at H&R Block (Chesterton, IN) in Aug 2025
Interview
Upon completing the application through the H&R Block website , I followed up with a call to their office and spoke with a preparer to schedule my interview. I interviewed with two preparers who had a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field. They were very welcoming and kind. They asked me about my prior work experience and spoke to me about their experience and backgrounds. It felt more like a conversation than the usual feeling of an interrogative interview, which I liked. They also allowed space for me to ask questions. It was an amazing interview process.
