"Starting my journey with Temporary Solutions as an Information and Communication Specialist has been an incredibly rewarding experience, even in just my first month. From the beginning, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects that support branding and engagement for both Temporary Solutions and the Office of State Human Resources. What I’ve found especially fulfilling is the chance to be creative every day. 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. I’ve gained insight into how state government functions and have seen firsthand how impactful and dynamic temporary roles can be. Being part of such a supportive and efficient team has shown me that temporary employment offers more than just experience. It provides a pathway to professional development, valuable connections, and the opportunity to make a real difference. I’m excited about what lies ahead and proud to contribute to North Carolina’s public workforce."
