1 Understand the problem

Before you jump into action, make sure you have a clear understanding of the problem you need to solve. Ask questions, gather information, and define the scope and goals of the project. Don't assume that you know what the client or employer wants or needs. Clarify the expectations, deliverables, and criteria for success. If possible, get them in writing to avoid confusion or miscommunication later.

Establish Clear Expectations: Ensure that all team members, including temporary or contract workers, understand the project's goals, timelines, and their roles and responsibilities. Clear communication is crucial to avoid misunderstandings and ensure everyone is aligned. Specialized Skills: Temporary or contract workers often bring unique skills and perspectives to the team. Leverage their expertise by assigning tasks that align with their strengths and experiences. Provide Necessary Resources: Make sure temporary or contract workers have access to the resources, tools, and information they need to perform their tasks effectively. This may include providing training, access to relevant software, and support from other team members.

2 Use your skills and experience

As a temp or contractor, you have the advantage of having a diverse set of skills and experience from working in different settings and industries. Use your knowledge and expertise to analyze the problem and identify potential solutions. Draw on your previous projects, best practices, and lessons learned. You may also have access to tools, methods, or frameworks that can help you structure your problem solving process. For example, you could use the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) model to set realistic and clear goals.

3 Seek feedback and support

You don't have to solve problems alone. Even if you work remotely or independently, you can still seek feedback and support from others. Reach out to your client or employer, colleagues, mentors, or peers for advice, suggestions, or validation. You may also find online communities, forums, or networks that are relevant to your field or industry. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of professionalism and willingness to learn.

4 Be flexible and adaptable

One of the key challenges of temporary or contract work is dealing with uncertainty and change. You may have to adjust to different work styles, cultures, or environments. You may also have to cope with unexpected issues, risks, or changes in the project scope, timeline, or budget. To solve problems effectively, you need to be flexible and adaptable. Be open to new ideas, perspectives, or approaches. Be ready to modify your plans, strategies, or solutions as needed. Be prepared to handle any setbacks, obstacles, or conflicts that may arise.

5 Communicate and document

Communication is essential for problem solving in any work environment, but especially in a temporary or contract one. You need to communicate clearly, frequently, and respectfully with your client or employer, as well as any other stakeholders involved in the project. You need to update them on your progress, challenges, results, and feedback. You also need to document your problem solving process, decisions, and outcomes. This will help you keep track of your work, demonstrate your value, and avoid any disputes or misunderstandings.

I think communication is one of the basic and most important tools to start with. Right from querying about any misunderstandings, to finding about the key stakeholders and their needs, communication is important overall. For any problems, for example the deadlines falling short and the consequences as a result, the respective stakeholders must be informed on time to prevent things from turning out worse.

The most important thing to consider is that in this scenario you have the advantage of an outside perspective, so you may be able to understand the issue from a broader and independent view.
