"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."
