I keep getting this advice. I have to start at CUNY first and then try for a job at NYU/Columbia. Why is that?

Thanks.
Why do you specifically want to work at these schools?

Build your resume.

Ahh that makes sense. Do you reckon NYU/Columbia prefers university work experience in NYC only (ie. CUNY) or can it be from anywhere in the country (ie. University of San Francisco, Maryland, etc)?

This is true. Conversely, the more books you read, the more you may impress or have the hands you shake like you.

I've been applying on both career sites since September 2017. Networked online and in-person. No interviews

100% spot on. My hidden intention is to go to grad school, while working at either of the universities. Reduced or free tuition is quite appealing to me.
I was actually admitted to a program at Columbia GSAPP for fall 2017, but could not attend for financial reasons. I would have had to take on a student loan of $75,000+. I'm currently debt free and prefer to keep it that way.
I come from a middle-class family and I can't take the risk of student loan debt. Working at NYU/Columbia and doing night time grad school is my best option

You got this reverse. These university positions are for friends and relatives. If you want to work for Columbia, you need to go get your degree there. Work odd administrative jobs that pay minimum hourly wage while studying. Then you apply for a job there and see whether you get lucky.
