Any job opportunities for your company in Miami, Fl? :)
Hi :) I was just curious how old you had to be to intern at FP?
when does this internship begin? sounds amazing!
I’m also curious as to when this internship begins! :)
hi ladies
the internship is anytime over the summer, dates are flexible. must be 17 or older.
this intership works directly for me, the president of freepeople.
as it posts i am looking for someone who loves freepeople and has a curious mind and loves to research anything and everything that relates to the freepeople lifestyle. hope one of you out there signs up. it will be alot of fun no doubt.
This sounds amazing! How should I upload my inspiration board pdf?
what is the last day for a submission?
Does the inspiration board have to be all actual magazine tears, or can it be done on the computer (or some combination of the two)?
Hi! I wanted to know if you had to be a student? I graduated last year, but I took this year off to save up money for college. I plan on going to school sometime next year for fashion though. This would be a dream of mine to intern for Free People!
This sounds great! Does the actual inspiration board have to be 8.5 x 11 or can it be larger as long as the PDF shrinks it down?
I am so excited!
When is the submission deadline?
thanks meg!
hi everyone- i will get more info on monday and get back to you with answers. thanks for your interest :)
Wow, this sounds like such an incredible opportunity!
Is this a paid internship? Or if not, would we be able to hold a part time job while doing this internship as well?
I hope this doesn’t come off as a really dumb question but for our inspiration board do we have to use strictly fp magazine tears? Or can we use any magazine tears that we think are suitable and properly embody the essence of fp in general?
hi everyone! added some more info above.
also when you apply online you will be instructed on how to upload the pdf.
Hi again! Thank you for the updated information! I submitted my application over the weekend so I just uploaded my PDF under “Profile Attachments.” Is this format acceptable? If not, is there a way I could re-submit my application?
Thanks again!
im really eager to apply for this internship. can the inspiration board be created via the computer or must it be actual magazine tears. i saw someone else had asked but i didnt see a reply. thank you :)
it can be magazine tears or computer images. whatever you want to use to show your interpretation of the FP girl!!
do you want the submissions to be strictly computerized, using photoshop, computer images and scanning
or are we able to do a hands on concept board, photograph it and send it as a pdf?
hi! it can be a hands-on concept board if you’re able to take a photo and send as a pdf!
Hi quick question, I am a Canadian resident so I was wondering whether or not you have to be a US Citizen to apply? (:
Hi!.. Ever since I knew of free people I’ve dream of working with you guys. I’m Mexican and just as Courtney I wonder whether the jobs opportunity you post are open for Non US Citizens?….
hi! non-US citizens can apply but you will have to supply your student visa!
I am so excited to apply for this position. I am a recent grad with a Marketing Degree and it has been my DREAM to work with FreePeople! I love the FreePeople girl and embody her spirit everyday. :) I will be submitting my application immediately!
Thank you!
I submitted my concept board! I think I would be a perfect fit :) Is there any way I can find out if my concept board submitted properly? When can we expect to hear back? Thank you for this opportunity to apply! Eager to hear back from you.

Thank you for all your help!!
Do we have to live in PA? If not, we will pay for our hotel, and plane etc, correct? :)
hello.
has the internship been filled?
I submitted before the deadline and left a few messages on the “hiring line” but havent had much success in trying to speak with anyone.
I agree with the rest of the gals here, this is an amazing opportunity and I don’t want to let it pass me by. Any info would be truly appreciated…
Thanks and Peace,
Sarah M.
hi sarah- anyone being considered should have been contacted by now. until the interview process is complete i will not have any more information but once i do i will be sure to share it on the blog. thanks!
I was just wondering when the decision will be made about this concept intern, of if there is anyone I should call to speak with directly about the internship.
thanks!
just saw the other response, sorry!
Good morning!
I submitted my resume and concept board for the Concept Internship (4316) this morning. I was unaware of the April deadline until I read the posting on this blog. I did not see a deadline date on the “official” posting. I apologize for this oversight and would sincerely appreciate your consideration of my application. I believe I would be an asset to the Free People team and I’d be grateful for the opportunity to discuss my qualifications!
Thank you, Brittany Welliver
Since it’s uploaded as a PDF if we make a hard copy of it and then take a high quality photograph is that sufficient or will it lower our chances?\
thanks!
