A recruiter's point of view

by Joanna Hoddinott, Senior Recruitment Consultant, Advanced Resource Managers Ltd.

Joanna's Profile

General info - interests, etc.

Driving nice cars, reading good books, cooking nice food (especially sausages) and distilling alcohol

Music

The tunes on my ipod range from KT Tunstall to Billie Holiday, Black Eyed Peas to Massive Attack, Santana to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, U2 to Faithless and so on...

Funniest thing I've done

Funniest or clumsiest? I followed my bowling ball down the bowling alley at a work night out!

Movies

No particular favourite, but recent viewings that have left me impressed include: Serenity, Collateral and the Shawshank Redemption. I love big budget American Films (I know - very shallow). Oh and I can't stand black and white films.

Television

I keep trying to give it up and yet every morning I come in asking people whether they've seen the same programmes as me. I do however draw the line at any soaps - I can't stand them (sorry mum!).

The last thing made me laugh

I've got a very basic sense of humour so probably toilet humour jokes! Though as my memory isn't up to much I can't remember.

Books

The Time Traveller's wife was very good. Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale was memorable. I like anything with a plot that makes you think - something like a spy/murder mystery is good. No trashy romance novels though!

Favourite Websites

www.bbc.co.uk/news

3 things the person next to me doesn't know

Not much - I cant keep secrets so everyone around me knows most things that are going on. Apart from a few deep and dark secrets I'm not sharing with anyone!

Food

Anything apart from corned beef, milk, fat, large chunks of fruit in my yoghurts... there's probably lots more. Worthy of a mention: Snack a Jacks - mmmm

What I'd do if I won the lottery

Pay off the mortgage. Buy my husband and myself a nice fast car each and then go off and do lots of track days.
