Recruitment hack / top tip –
Employers – Always recruit for attitude and train for skill
Candidates – Invest the time it requires in your CV and the job application process.
Best thing about being part of the TT team – Doing what I enjoy and working with such a great team of positive motivated people.
How would your colleagues describe you – I doubt I could answer that … hopefully hardworking, motivated and a good reliable colleague.
Interesting fact / something we don’t know – I once featured on a Take That DVD, almost drowned at Surfers Paradise thinking I was a surfing legend, the tides are a little different to Cornwall, I want to go on SAS – Who Dares Wins – TV & complete a Half Iron Man. Since losing 9 stone I’ve completed a half marathon, Olympic triathlon and HYROX – World series of Fitness.
Favourite thing to do outside of work – Watch sport, go to the gym & eat – in no particular order.
If you weren’t in recruitment, where would you be – I originally wanted to be an Architect as the inner geek in me is fascinated with buildings and super structures, however now if I had my time again, I’d attempt to see how far I could get on the Royal Marine Basic Training course.
Lookalike – Mmm… not sure, I’m unique.
Nickname – Gooders, Goody or G.
If you had to eat 1 meal for the rest of your life / Last meal – Prawn cocktail, Roast dinner, apple pie and custard.
Most interesting place your visited and where would you like to go – Argentina – what a great place & I’d love to go to South Africa.
Last book you read – It’s not a diet book by James Smith PT.
Favourite TV program – I don’t watch much TV apart from sport, I do watch a lot of You Tube.
