Frequently asked questions
I graduated recently and don't have full-time work experience. Can I apply for internship opportunities?
Internships are only open to current students enrolled in an accredited academic institution. You may still be eligible to apply for our graduate opportunities, available to candidates with less than a year of working experience.
Do I need work authorization for the position that I applied for?
We expect candidates to have the proper work authorization within the country they are applying to work in. International candidates should seek information from their local government and speak to their university career advisers for more information on ensuring the correct work authorization.
How many jobs am I allowed to apply for?
You may apply for up to two Early Career positions per program within the application timeframe. You may also filter the program under the careers page (such as Graduates, Undergrad/Master Intern, etc.). The application limit applies to both TikTok and its affiliates' jobs globally.
What is the timeline of the hiring process?
The hiring process varies by team or position. It typically includes resume screening, online assessment (if applicable), interviews with the hiring team, and the offer, if selected.
How can I check my application status? Will you inform me if it changes?
Due to the high volume of applications, we cannot provide individual status updates. You can check the status of your application(s) in your application center.
Will I receive feedback about my interview?
Unfortunately, as we receive a high volume of applications, we are unable to provide individual feedback following the interview, but you will be informed on the outcome of the interview.

“I really like the people and culture at TikTok. The company has a strong learning environment and culture for both interns and full-time employees. You could make a discovery that your manager or team may not know of, and we learn from each other. Everyone was very supportive, and you will always feel like you are part of a team working towards a common goal.”
