Internships at The Jim Henson Company
This exciting email just came into the Illustration Inbox:
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who are willing to
dedicate themselves to enhancing our company environment. We seek
students who are organized, mature, and have a great sense of humor. You
must have a positive attitude, desire to learn, and willingness to be
flexible. This is a fun, relaxed place to work with a lot of creative
energy and a good mix of hard work. You will see how our company
functions from behind the scenes, and play a large role in contributing
to our goals.
Please do not feel that you need to be a puppeteer, a puppet maker, or
an arts and crafts buff to be considered for an internship. In fact, our
internships are primarily in an office atmosphere located in our Los
Angeles or New York offices. However, we welcome applicants with a
special interest in the Company and its projects.
Students must provide proof of college credit for the internship, and
assume responsibility for transportation, living arrangements, etc.
Please note:
* We do NOT teach puppeteering, puppet making, mold making, sculpting,
animatronic construction or foam latex construction.
Feel free to be creative with your application (although this is not
necessary), but please maintain professionalism.
