At TeamWRX, we pride ourselves on connecting top talent with some of the best opportunities in the industry. One of the success stories we’re celebrating this October is Carlton Gregory, a former TeamWRX Most Valuable Player (MVP) who has successfully transitioned to a full-time position at Lucid Scientific. As part of our All-Stars initiative, we highlight individuals like Carlton, who have gone above and beyond in their contract roles and earned a permanent spot with one of our exceptional clients.
Carlton Gregory’s Journey from Temp to TeamWRX October All-Star
Carlton Gregory, originally from California, joined TeamWRX after being referred by a classmate. At the time, he was seeking a full-time role where he could grow professionally. “I was referred to Dion at TeamWRX, and I was looking for a full-time position where I could grow,” Carlton shared during our interview. That simple connection led to a journey that would shape Carlton’s career in significant ways.
The Lessons Learned at TeamWRX
Carlton’s experience at TeamWRX taught him valuable lessons about self-discipline, reliability, and dedication. “Working through a temp service teaches you to show dedication and that you want the job,” he says. He emphasized the importance of being on time, a key factor in his success. “Being on time was my main focus. It’s important to show up on time to demonstrate dedication to the company you want to work for.”
This commitment to punctuality and reliability wasn’t just a personal goal—it became the foundation of his work ethic, and it’s one of the main reasons he stood out as a TeamWRX MVP. As Carlton explained, “It’s about being reliable. Showing up on time, not calling in late, and being dedicated. These are key traits companies look for.”
A Smooth Transition to Full-Time Success
Carlton’s performance and attitude were quickly noticed, and soon, he found himself transitioning to a full-time lab technician position at Lucid Scientific. His role as a lab technician is a new challenge, but it’s one that he embraces fully. “I love what I do,” he says, “I see myself growing in this role and staying with the company.” His journey exemplifies how contract work can lead to lasting, fulfilling career opportunities.
Carlton’s advice to others working with temporary agencies is simple but powerful: “Work like you want the job. Show dedication. If you’re just there for a paycheck, employers can see that. But if you show you’re serious about growing, that makes a difference.”
TeamWRX’s Role in His Journey
Throughout his time with TeamWRX, Carlton appreciated the support he received from the team. “I really appreciated the friendly staff and the feedback they gave me. They checked in regularly and provided support, which helped me grow.” This consistent support helped Carlton build a strong foundation for his career, and it’s something he’s grateful for. In fact, he has referred his fiancé and friends to TeamWRX, helping them also secure full-time positions.
Carlton’s journey is a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and the support of a great team. As we celebrate him as one of our October All-Stars, we’re reminded of the positive impact temporary staffing can have on long-term career success. “I want to thank TeamWRX for bringing me along on this journey and for the honor of being an October All-Star,” Carlton says, reflecting on his experience.
Conclusion
Carlton’s story is an inspiring reminder that with the right mindset, temporary work can be a stepping stone to long-term success. His commitment to punctuality, reliability, and personal growth not only made him an MVP at TeamWRX but also earned him a full-time role at Lucid Scientific. As we continue to highlight our October All-Stars, we look forward to sharing more success stories like Carlton’s, showcasing how contract staffing can lead to full-time career opportunities.
