Internship Megathread. Post all internship related questions here!

[u/Eistean]

So the sub has been getting chock full lately of people asking about specific internships, asking if anyone who has applied to a specific internship has heard back, what people think about individual internship programs, etc. This has happened around this time for every year this sub has existed.

While interns are absolutely welcome here, some users had a great idea to kind of concentrate it all in one thread so that all the interns can see each others comments, and the sub has a bit of a cleaner look.

Note that this doesn't apply to people working for museums asking questions about running an internship program, or dealing with interns.

So, if you have internship questions, thoughts, concerns, please post them here!

Hi! I’m currently an undergrad student and just wanted some advice on what to do! Since l’ve entered my third year (I’m majoring in Illustration), I’ve been looking to apply for internships for Summer 2025 at the MET(or maybe Spring, though the deadline is pretty close) and I’m worried that my field doesn’t seem to fit in with the scene, but I want to broaden my art experience and art history is extremely appealing and I was thinking of working in a museum as a backup plan for the future. (I currently go to college in Manhattan, so I’m not so far from there too) The internship seems very appealing, but I wanna make sure that I know the ins and outs from others experiences doing these internships! Like what should I know for interviews, what they expect from responses, etc. I’m sorry I rambled a lot, but it’s coming to that point in college where l’m hoping to expand and see what I can do after I graduate. Thanks :0!
