[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone gotten an interview lately? Anyone’s application status change on USA jobs?  I also applied and have heard nothing. [/quote]

For the job that closed earlier this month, my status changed a week or two ago to "Reviewed." Haven't heard anything otherwise.[/quote]

I’ve been curious about this too. I haven’t heard anything about the positions they posted, and the only status update has been a change from received to reviewed. [/quote]

FWIW, I'm the PP you quoted, and my status is still the same. "Reviewed" on USAJobs and still haven't heard anything.[/quote]

CFPB Attorney here.

Do you know anyone on the inside PP? It’s extremely difficult to get into the CFPB as an attorney unless you have an inside connect, meet a diversity need, or have a degree from a top program with a “pedigreed” background.

Not to discourage anyone that’s posted so far, but CFPB is perhaps one of the most elitist agencies in the federal government (honestly for no good reason m). The senior staff at the agency want the same level of respect that their SEC, OCC, DOJ, and FRB peers get. Many (if not most) are arrogant, self-important, and pretentious. Think, limousine liberals and frat-boy/d-bag Republican types. They want to create an appearance of prestige, in order to justify the agency’s existence. We do very interesting work, but it’s not like you need an Ivy League background or even law firm experience to do much of the work that we do here. But, this is pretty who is hired.

Also, for anyone that is from a minority background, good luck when it comes to promotions. For an agency created under our first black president, and conceived by a champion for women and minority rights, it’s a shame that CFPB is such a cesspool of racism, sexism, and bigotry. Just as of this week, the union began evaluating the salaries/grade levels of women and minority employees, because it’s beyond obvious that the highest grade levels are clustered in the white male demographic. This could go to mediation or even congress if these issues are as widespread and systemic as many employees think. I like many of my coworkers and believe in our mission (which is why I have stayed), but the “good ol boy” network is strong. Which is why most attorneys leave after 1-2 years.

Hmm. I don't work at CFPB but my spouse does and all their bosses that I am aware of have been either female or minority. I haven't asked but I highly suspect my spouse would disagree with this. [/quote]

Well, I worked at the CFPB for a long time, and I agree 100% with PP. The sexism, ageism, and discrimination is rampant. [/quote]

What does "I worked at the CFPB for a long time" mean?  If you worked at the CFPB on the very first day it was established, and were still working there today, it'd only be 6 years.[/quote]
