True/False - school's CSO can only get access to one other school's job board within a geographical region Forum

This question is for anyone who has experience getting access to other schools' job boards (e.g. symplicity) through their CSOs...

I recently moved to NY and my school's CSO is telling me that they can only get access to one school's job board under some rule (not sure if that's internal or for all ABA schools). Is this true?

For those of you who have used NY-based school's job boards before, have you found any particular school tended to have qualitatively or quantitatively better postings than others? My CSO told me that I can choose one school in NY to try to get access to but I'm not sure which I should go with.

Thanks!

Even if they're lying through their teeth, what can you do about it. Pick a school.

True. You may have to actually go to the school to login as well as they may not allow remote access. Most schools post their symplicity reciprocity guidelines/applications on the public facing portion of their website.

OP here. Thanks for the responses. Yeah, I mean w/ respect to the comment about needing to choose a school, I ultimately did because of the time crunch, but I guess what I wanted to see was if anyone who had experience with using e.g. Columbia, Fordham, Yeshiva, etc.'s symplicity sites found one school's sites had better/more listings for mid-size firms or firms for entry level associates. Probably should have just asked that more directly in my OP. That's my bad.

Anyway, it is what it is at this point. Maybe someone else who is interested in this who hasn't chosen a school in NY could benefit from anyone who could answer the above.

Cheers.

I recently did this and found this to be true as well.

My career office won't limit me on their end, they Jane to deal with the policies of the other schools. Of the three I requested access to, one said only in person, one only for three months during certain times and only twice every three years, and the last has blackout dates for their own student use only.
