Symplicity Database

Job Postings & More

The Office of Career Services Office uses Symplicity, a web-based management system, to handle our job postings, among other important functions. Please note: The office does not check, validate or guarantee the accuracy of the job information presented, nor does it make any representations or endorsements about the background or reputation of the employers. Potential applicants are encouraged to perform their own investigation of the employers and employment opportunities presented.

In addition to job postings, students and graduates can also use Symplicity to store their own documents, including copies of resumes, cover letters, and writing samples.  Further, students and graduates can access important Career Services documents that are stored in the "Document Library" in Symplicity.  Moreover, the Office of Career Services uses Symplicity to coordinate fall recruiting, job fairs, and to schedule events and interviews.

Instructions for Searching for Job Listings:

To access job postings on Symplicity, select "Job Postings" on the dark blue bar across the top of the page. Individual job postings can be viewed by clicking on the "job title" of each job posted.

To get the most out of your job search on Symplicity, please follow these important guidelines:

• Key Words: This field is self-explanatory, but be careful not to limit your search by being too specific (e.g. “family law” is a good search term, but “child custody” is too specific).
• Practice Areas: We DO NOT recommend using this search field because many jobs are not entered using this information. Any listing that comes up under this field will not necessarily reflect all applicable jobs in the database.
• Position Type: You can search by position type, but ignore any category that is listed as “Co-op.”
• Employer Type: IGNORE this field.  It is for internal use only.
• To search for jobs by geography, select “Advanced Search” on the gray bar across the top of the page, and select “Location.”  This field will allow you to search for jobs in a particular region.  At this time, the other fields under “Advanced Search,” including “Geographic Preference”,” City,” “State”, and “Country”, are not working properly and should not be used.
• To ensure that you are not missing any relevant job opportunities, you may want to search all jobs (i.e. no filters) in the database periodically.
