Shari De Neef
Flexible Learning Facilitator

Hi there, my name is Shari and I have been employed at Job Centre Australia Limited for almost two years. I am a Training Facilitator in our training college based at Wyong on the Central Coast .

I find my job thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding. I get a great deal of satisfaction from helping people use computers correctly and efficiently. Correct use of computers is considered a necessity in today's demanding work environment for a large majority of employees, but computers can also be enjoyable to use and open up a whole new world when we understand how to use them properly.

I have previously worked in many diverse areas ranging from Training, Insurance, Administration, Retail and Logistics.

I have Insurance Industry, Training and Business Administration qualifications.

The staff at Job Centre Australia Limited are some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. We are a caring bunch who really have our client's best interests at heart.
