Too busy to job hunt?


Andy Oakes
Name Andy Oakes
Age 27
Location Nottingham
Previous experience in the industry? 2 and a half years with R3 and 12 months recruiting in Civil Engineering plus an HR Degree.
Favourite food? Beef Wellington closely followed by caramel squares from Philpotts – been known to slam three down my neck in one go!
Do you have any pets? I have a girlfriend who hates all pets apart from rabbits and I see no point in having a rabbit as a pet! My parents have two ginger kittens – George and Honey – very cute!
If you could possess ONE superpower - what would it be and why? The ability to fly so my 1hour journey to work every day wouldn’t take so long!
Favourite type of holiday? I have a lot of ‘sunny’ holidays but have to amuse myself as my other half spends the whole time reading! I like being active so anywhere I can go running, play golf and eat pizza is fine by me. My favourite holiday ever was travelling around Italy and Croatia when I graduated – I ate 27 Tuna and Onion pizzas in 30 days! Fantastic.
What is your worst habit? I am a little anal on the cleaning front at home – hate clutter. This is a big bone of contention for my ‘wannabe student’ girlfriend who is a slob.
What do you consider your most useful trait to others? I am honest and loyal. I consider myself to be very approachable and easy to get along with. Not that my team would agree but I do consider myself to have my funny moments also.
If you could choose to be on one reality TV programme which would you choose and why? I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here – because I would have to be famous to get on it… Or ‘Big Ron Manager’ – I am convinced I could get on his team.
What five words best describe you? Dedicated, driven, funny, good-looking, modest.
