[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]23:20 here - it is hard to get a job in CFPB Enforcement.[/quote]

Why is that?  Is it low turnover and many people interested?  Tough selection process?  I very much want to get into CFPB enforcement group (and have good credentials i think) but there are never any job job postings.[/quote]

I am CFPB attorney, though not in Enforcement.  In my experience, it's much faster to get a job here than in other federal agencies because CFPB is still "staffing up" and thus the process goes more quickly (don't have to wait for someone to leave to have position open).  I came at a particularly busy time, so the whole process from first interview to start date was about 2 months, which I think is very fast for federal lawyer job.  It is difficult to get a job here in the sense that people are very well-credentialed (I came from big law and most people have big law resumes, e.g., Ivies or top of their class from very good law schools) but easier to get a job here in the sense that there is less bureaucracy than typical agency and less focus on you having some very particular narrow experience.

You forgot to add that you must have very Progressive leanings and background.  Any hint of being a Republican or conservative, and you are blackballed.
