Who can apply?
- The current posting targets undergraduate juniors who will complete junior year by June 2027 and graduate in May or June 2028. That published graduation window controls more precisely than a general class label.
- Relevant interests include graphic or industrial design, digital media, visual merchandising, store design, package design, copywriting and social content. Candidates should match their materials to the function in the posting.
- The role is based in New York and publishes no remote or hybrid arrangement. Check the live posting for work authorization, portfolio and opening-specific requirements before submitting.
The program overview says October, not an exact closing date. Waiting for the last day of the month risks finding that this specific posting has already closed.

How to apply to The Estée Lauder Companies
- Open the current Creative role from Estée Lauder's careers site and verify that its application action is still available; the company publishes an October closing month but no universal closing day.
- Put your May or June 2028 graduation date clearly on the resume, then select portfolio or work examples that match the exact creative area rather than submitting an undirected collection.
- Complete the official careers application and save the job identifier, description and confirmation. Recheck the posting for any portfolio-link or document-format instruction before the final submission.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
A compact portfolio needs context. For two or three projects, state the brief, audience, constraint, your own contribution and the decision behind the final work. Label coursework and concept work honestly.
Beauty creative work lives inside a brand system. Choose one Estée Lauder Companies brand and analyze how its store, packaging, digital and social expression stay consistent; use that observation to explain which creative function interests you.
