Hi

Off Chiswick On the 19th for an initial Interview with Foxtons. I'm up for it as I want to get into property and the seem to be the biggest and strongest brand in the market.

Anyone know what I'm likely to expect?

Ta.

Its was good, the head offices were like nothing I have been to before...its a little bit like entering an arena (you'll see when you get there) but in a good way. There was a really good buzz about the place which I also havent seen in some of the other interviews I've been to. I havent been to a trading floor but it had that feel about it...occasional shout and clapping - it was exciting and I think I'd fit in with that sort of atmosphere.

We were given a presentation and then did some group and individual tasks and that's about it.

Good luck. Let me know how you get on.

I had the assessment day last month and got the job. Don't worry about it, it's really easy. Just make sure you are chatty and have big smiles for everyone. Meet as many of the people as you can and try and show your personality - don't be too professional and serious. They will ask questions like why foxtons? and just say how they are leading brand, (almost like a high st name) exciting and dynamic company etc etc...

I went to an interview day last year. Started with some general form filling , then a quick presentation on foxtons. This was followed by a bit of mingling session, As individuals are called from the group to do individual interviews the rest r left to mingle with around 5 foxtons employees to tell them what they're about and try to get there personality over to the foxtons staff.

I personally didn't enjoy the process, I think the staff walked around thinking they were the dogs bollocks and were very pretentious, but this is just my opinion. From talking to the staff it seemed like the interviews happen almost weekly, and from my group of 20ish they were lookin to fill one posistion. It seemed like a cool place to work though with a great atmosphere. I personally didnt like the more senior staff doing the interviews and got a sense of elitism / snoberry on there behalf . Needless to say I didn't get a role, but not bitter haha

Talk about career progression and development and dress very professionally.

Had and interview earlier in the month with Foxtons...they offered me a job! Start on the 9th April.

Chuffed.

Took some doing...applied to lots of related things but glad to finally be doing something with some path and direction. I graduated in 2011. I know its going to be tough but I'm ready. The fear of having to go back to what I was doing before is a strong motivator.

Thanks for the tips here.
