The Role
Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish, a huge learning curve across the 6 week span and has taught me many skills to take back to University
From the beginning we were welcomed, not as interns but as part of the Foxtons team.
Our supervisors, mentored us throughout, and any query or issue, they did their utmost to help.
Never a dull moment, and I was never left wondering what I should be doing or where I should be.
After the initial training we were given similar responsibility to other members of staff, made the whole experience far more beneficial as we weren't kept in the dark on any aspect.
The skills I learnt across each week, left me more confident at the end of the internship than ever before, I now feel that I skills that will not only aid my university years but also any future career path i may undergo.
The Company
Foxton's is an incredibly energetic and vibrant place to work, I looked forward to each day and so did everyone else.
Each week had a structure, different tasks and different focal points, incredibly well organised.
Foxtons invested a great deal of time and effort into the internship, to really bring on each intern's unique skills, meaning that not one person didn't benefit from the experience.

Company Parties/Events
A future at Foxton's is very appealing, the company is dynamic, expanding and an invigorating place to work. I'd relish the opportunity to have a career with Foxtons.
The Culture
All of the interns bonded very well and across the internship socialised a great deal, had loads of nights out, and are all still in touch.
London is expensive no matter where, and where we were located was average prices. London is never cheap.
Nightlife is what you make of it, and the area where we were catered for all scenes, and being honest London is easy to get around so, never a dull night.
Foxtons did offer opportunities to all, and we were constantly included by all staff.
