Freelancing While Interning?

Is it appropriate for a post-grad intern to accept freelance assignments while interning?

It depends

If it’s a competing magazine, it could be a problem (say, you’re interning at Seventeen and doing a freelance article for Teen Vogue, or interning at Redbook while doing a freelance project for Good Housekeeping) Honestly, to avoid any confusion, I’d clear if with my supervisor. However, if it’s not a competing magazine at all, then no need to clear it … but don’t do it while you’re at your internship.

Of course! They aren’t

Of course!

They aren’t paying you a dime. What do you owe them? Not a thing.
Also, plenty of staff writers freelance, too. ;)

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

In that case...

Thanks dramavixen! In this case I’m interning at an online women’s lifestyle magazine that covers the usual: beauty, fashion, entertainment, etc. The publication isn’t national. The freelance gig would strictly focus on hair trends for an online hair magazine. What do you think?

that sounds fine to me

If you want to be ultra-cautious, you can clear it with your supervisor, but it sounds like they are distinctly different enough that it wouldn’t be a problem. Good luck!
