ayan0624 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Hi, I am wondering if anyone in this forum heard back from MoMA and/or Whitney about internships. I think at the homepage, each mentions that it will send out interview offer during March... and I am just curious if anyone knows about that. Good luck to everyone who applied for the position!
Ramblr Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 In the recent past, moma has done phone interviews very close to their announcement date, this time April 28. I just spoke to a friend who applied to the Whitney, and she's heard nada. Good luck!!! )))

They'll send you a wonderful rejection letter stating the number of people who applied to the program in an effort to make you feel less like a terrible scholar!
celestia Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I applied in January, and have been in contact with the coordinator but they are being vague in giving answers.... I hope it works out. i havent heard anything sound yet either. Hi, I am wondering if anyone in this forum heard back from MoMA and/or Whitney about internships.

trompel'oeil Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Hi, Has anyone applied to the 12 month internship at MoMA? Just wondering when emails for interviews might be sent out. I've been waiting pretty anxiously although the announcement date is not till July 15th.
debral2020 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Hi - I've applied for the Public Programs track, and I haven't heard anything yet. Keep me posted if you hear anything - and good luck!
londonWill Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I applied for the 12-month internship at MOMA too- working with the Fluxus/prints collection. Haven't heard anything since the standard email responses stating my application/references had been received. They really make you wait on this one, eight or nine weeks! Then again just imagine how many applications they must get. Good luck- probably best to put it to the back of your mind for now and work on something else; I'm doing an internship elsewhere in the interim. Will post if there's an update.
trompel'oeil Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Yes, I just read that over 1000 graduate students applied for 20 paid internships offered by the Museums Galleries Scotland, where interns receive £15,000 for the year. So I can only imagine the number MoMA gets. But still wish, we didn't have to wait till what...beginning of July to get some news? Oh wells... I applied for the Louise Bourgeois one, working with illustrated books, and prints as well. Good luck to all those who applied! I will also update if I find out anything
overacheivingunderacheiver Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I've applied for the Public Programme internship too, the tension is killing me! I'll be sure to let everyone know if I hear anything, has anyone else heard back yet? I was accepted onto a programme at another gallery in New York a couple of years ago (unfortunately I didn't get to actually go and do it) and it took around 6 weeks for them to notify short listed candidates. That was with 600 applicants, and several more places than are on offer at MoMA. It was also unpaid so I can imagine how many people must have applied for these paid positions!
trompel'oeil Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Do they pick one 12-month intern per position? Assuming that they contact you close to the announcement date and they take about a week to interview candidates, then I predict we will find out this week or the next. It is rather nerve-wracking, but I guess it's comforting to know I'm not the only one wondering what's going on. Trying to keep myself busy with other things.
debral2020 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 As far as I know, it's one intern per post. Fingers crossed for hearing soon... Goodluck! Do they pick one 12-month intern per position?

fragonard32 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 they hire about ten for the 12-month internships.
londonWill Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Hey, I just received an email from MoMA re: 12-month internship to schedule an interview for early next week. It looks as if these will about 20 minutes and conducted by the Director of adult and academic programs and a representative of the relevant department to which you applied (in my case an assistant curator in the prints/illustrated books dept.) No update on the time frame for decisions, so July 15th is still the nominal date. Good luck all!
overacheivingunderacheiver Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Congratulations! I haven't heard anything yet, but based on this I'm keeping my fingers crossed something will come soon.

trompel'oeil Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Yes congrats londonwill! A 20 min interview doesn't sound too intimidating. Hmm...Wonder if they email people in batches or all at once regarding interviews. In any case, lots of luck on the interview and keeping fingers crossed for the rest.
theconstgoh Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Hello. Anyone else got an email from MoMA? I am still waiting. This is stressing me out!
trompel'oeil Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Just wanted to let you know that I received an email from MoMA wanting an interview early next week. It's all pretty much the same as londonwill has mentioned. It will be twenty minutes and it will be with the Director of Adult & Academic Programs, Assistant Director of Adult and Academic Programs, and Education Assistant, Internship Program and MoMA Courses. Pretty nervous but luckily I don't have to wait too long to find out whether I got it or not (July 15 is still the big day). Good luck to all!
fragonard32 Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Am I the only one who hasn't been notified yet...?
contiguous Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I applied to the Whitney summer internships last year and was selected for a position (though ultimately did not take it due to a better, paying offer) - you are required to interview in person. The other thing is that you interview with three separate departments while you're in NYC, in a row, plus with the HR manager. The HR woman quizzed me pretty intensely about my coursework, so I'm sure they'll ask about your MA / PhD plans.

From what I have heard you should be prepared for a couple-hours-long marathon of interviewing sessions, and perhaps some questions on authors, methodologies, etc. Sounds much more rigorous than most! Good luck! Edited March 6, 2012 by mooncake88
whiskers1992 Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 i just heard they had over 1000 applicants. i called today and they are running behind. ughhh. anxious
GeneralistAdventurist Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 They haven't posted for the paid, year long internship yet have they? I've been stalking the site...and also applied to Brooklyn Museum's year long museum ed...
Orlando Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 By 'running behind,' does that mean they have not yet sent out requests for interviews? I haven't gotten a request for an interview yet, so I was wondering whether or not I should cross it off my list. For internships like these, is it recommended to follow up via email or phone or would they just perceive that as pesky?
