Summer Corporate Internship Program

Summer Corporate Internship Program 

PLEASE NOTE: We start accepting applications in August but will not begin to reach out to candidates until December, as the recruitment process for our Summer Internship does not begin until December. If you have a competing offer that expires prior to December, you can email us at collegerecruitment@bloomingdales.com - please expect a delay as we will be traveling and recruiting for our post-graduate LDP Program. Otherwise, we recommend applying sooner rather than later, as we will review applications in the order we receive them. Thank you!
