Employee of the Month - February 2015: Haylie Carlson

The Philly Temps Employee of the Month for February 2015 is Haylie Carlson!

Our Employee of the month for February 2015 is Haylie Carlson.

Haylies most recent work has been in Knoxville Tennessee, but she is now in Philadelphia deciding how best to put her degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Illinois to use.

Haylies professional demeanor and flexibility have proven to be an asset to our Administrative AND Convention departments. Her willingness to accept new experiences and fulfill job duties with aplomb, while remaining pleasant and productive made our decision to make her Employee of the Month an easy one.

We also got the chance to ask her some questions to get to know here a little better.

Philly Temps (PT): How long have you lived in the Philadelphia, PA area?

Haylie C (HC): About 6 months

PT: How did you hear about Philly Temps?

A: The wonderful world wide web.

PT: What is your previous work experience?

HC: Working as a landscape architect and marketing and administrative assistant at a design firm.

PT: How has working as a temp been helpful to you?

HC: It allowed me to find work quickly and, at times, I was able to maintain a flexible schedule when I needed to. It has also taught me to be open to new ideas and experiences. It has been a growing experience to learn new skill sets that I previously thought I wouldn’t excel at or enjoy.

PT: Please share your most memorable experience working for Philly Temps.

HC: Working at the Blood Bank Convention at the registration table. It was my one of my first assignments, and was much more challenging than I anticipated. It was also fun to get to learn more about other Philly Temps whom I may not have had the chance to know otherwise.  

PT: What are your long term career goals?

HC: Still trying to figure that one out!

PT: What is your life like outside of work? What are your hobbies? Are you involved in your community?

HC: I enjoy doing anything outdoors (especially if it involves snow - the more the better). I love growing plants and taking my friends and family on Philadelphia tree tours.
