Profile

My name is Sharon Wright and I have been a temp contractor for most of the last 11 years since moving to Auckland from Dunedin. I am proudly based in Albany, North Shore City, Auckland, where I own a home with my partner Dean.

During my career I have completed contracts in both large and small organisations, working mainly in accounting, administrative roles but also as a marketing assistant, credit controller, warehouse pick and pack and I'm a trained barista - I can make a great coffee!

My first job after leaving school was as a cashier with DIC Department Stores in Dunedin. The 12 years I worked there taught me everything I would ever need to know about the customer service and administration needs of any large or small company.

The significant positions I held there were;
Head Cashier, Credit Controller, Customer Services Manager and Store Administration Manager

The experience I gained;

Cash Handling - I'm used to dealing with, and reconciling large sums of money. Customer service skills.

Credit Control - Interviewing customers requiring credit, following up on slow payments, data entry and reconciling a large debtors ledger.

Customer Service - How to resolve customer queries and complaints, writing procedures for store policies.

Store Administration - Weekly payroll for 150 staff, accounting for all inwards/outwards stock, accounts payable, preparation of monthly and annual accounts, general ledger and bank reconciliations, IRD returns,
fixed asset schedules, stock control, intercompany accounts and staff supervision.

This experience has made me a highly motivated person who takes a great deal of pride in completing thoroughly any task that I'm asked to take on. I have a can-do attitude along with good time management and organisational skills and I know the importance of paying attention to detail.

I am honest and reliable and can cope in pressure situations. I enjoy contact with people of all ages and feel
confident in adapting to changing environments. I have a good sense of humour and enjoy being part of any team.
I hold a current drivers licence and I'm a non smoker.
