"I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute my specialties during my tenure of a temporary employee. This position in DMVA provides an avenue for gaining valuable experience, honing new skills, and broadening my professional networks. Attending training, sharing best practices, and collaborations provided by state agencies are also particularly important for someone like me who is new to the state and interested in a career in public service. I have boosted our social media presence and reach by doubling the followers with proven strategies. DMVA and the Communications Office’s supportive work environment, job recognition, and satisfaction enhance my sense of belonging, and builds up my confidence to better serve the state and its people."

"Starting my journey with Temporary Solutions as an Information and Communication Specialist has been an incredibly rewarding experience, even in just my first few months. From the beginning, I’ve had the opportunity to be creative and contribute to meaningful projects that support branding and engagement for both Temporary Solutions and the Office of State Human Resources. Whether it’s developing content, supporting integrated recruitment campaigns, or helping strengthen stakeholder communication, I’ve been able to learn and grow in ways I didn’t expect so early on. Being part of such a supportive and efficient team has shown me that temporary employment offers more than just experience."

My team is very supportive and always available to answer questions and collaborate on projects. I love seeing how the projects I work help people across the State of North Carolina. I can't wait to see what other impacts I will have as I continue to grow in my role with N.C."
