It’s been a while since I’ve participated. Blogging in general has been like pulling teeth for me. I seem to go through these phases and I’m not sure why. Well, today I thought that I’d share with you one of my chicken burger recipes that I concocted a couple of months ago. Last year I worked at the Daily Grind Unwind and got the chance to work with some different ingredients which inspired the burger. The recipe is below the menu.

Monday - Chicken & Dumplings

Tuesday - Nachos

Wednesday - Philly Cheesesteaks & chips

Thursday - Feta Chicken Burgers

Friday - Chicken Salad (green salad)

Saturday - Spaghetti

Sunday - Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Chicken Feta Burgers (Feeds 6)

12 pre-frozen chicken tenders

4oz crumbled feta cheese (tomato & basil)

Fresh spinach (handful)

Pesto sauce

Provolone cheese slices

Tomato (sliced)

Country Potato sandwich buns

Grill or pan cook chicken tenders until done. Spread pesto sauce on bottom bun. Layer 2 chicken tenders, nestle 1 tablespoon of feta cheese between chicken tenders, one slice of tomato, and one slice of provolone cheese. I have a varibroiler in my oven, so I set all 6 prepared sandwiches on a cookie sheet and toast them for about 5 minutes to let the cheese melt. Then I top the sandwiches with a few leaves of fresh spinach and the top bun. Viola!!

So, for the last week I’ve been hitting more job boards than usual. A few boards have come out of the wood works, but mostly I’ve been updating my resume at boards that I’m already registered at and applying for jobs as suggested.

Here are a few of the boards that I’ve hit up in my search for an entry level Human Resource position:

Monster

CareerBuilder

Indeed

Yahoo Hot Jobs

HR.com

NelsonJobs.com (Northern California)

IMDiversity

HireDiversity

The Recruiter Network

Fresh Jobs

Jobing.com

iHireHR.com

Many of the job boards you haven’t heard before I found via Google Job Search. It’s true that they are much smaller sites and won’t get the same exposure as sites like Monster.com, but it also means that employers might take notice of application coming through the sites because they are not innundated with resume submissions. I heard the HR manager where I work currently tell me that they leave a job posting up on their site for a few days and then they take it down for a few days whether or not the job has been filled. They do this so that they can catch up on all the resumes that are submitted. So, just because you don’t see a job posting one day doesn’t mean that it’s no longer available.

Job seekers: Are there any job boards that you’ve gotten a good response from?

Seeking: An entry level or better Human Resource position within 25 miles from my home.

I have been actively seeking employment since May of 2008. Over the last year I have refined my search and interests to the Human Resource field largely because of classes which I took during my BS - Business Management program. Because of my interest in this field I am currently enrolled in the MBA - Human Resource Management program with the University of Phoenix. I am interested in Training & Recruitment, Risk Management, and Compensation, but will be happy to obtain a job that will give me experience in any and every aspect of Human Resources.

Besides what you will see on my resume I have developed an expertise in the below skills:

• Leading groups through goal oriented tasks
• Conflict Management
• Recruitment & Training
• Custom PowerPoint Training Presentations
• Academic Writing & Editing
• Event Planning for up to 450 Participants
• Document Creation for the Purpose of Creating Reports
• Communication - On-site & Off-location

Whatever I do not know I am very resourceful in finding the information needed to get the job done. I am a strong advocate for team work, training, and empowering those around me to work well together.

Okay, I am so NOT a runner, but have always dreamed to be. Tomorrow I begin my journey. My biggest struggle? Doing it alone. I have a friend that has said she would come out and run with me, but I’m not sure she will make it, and I don’t know that she’ll be there every day, though she runs often. I have several friends that have completed the Los Angeles Marathon and they are definitely my inspiration, but I’m afraid that I’ll begin and then quit because it’s too hard.

Back in 2002 another friend and I participated in Palotta Works last 3-day Breast Cancer Walk. It was one of the most awesome things that I’ve ever done. In the beginning training was a little hard, but after a while I became the main motivator when my friend and I had to be at the training site at the Rose Bowl at 5:30 a.m. I know that once I get going it will become easier to motivate myself to keep going, but I’m just afraid that I will barely get out of the starting gate before I give up.

Why am I doing this? Because I want to be in shape. I want to be able to play volleyball without my breathing sounding like it’s coming from a fog horn. I want to be able to walk up stairs without my knees hurting. I want to be able to play soccer with my kids, tennis with my husband, and softball with friends. I want my heart to be healthy. Weightloss? Sure, I want that too, but that’s not my main motivator for running.

Tomorrow moring I will take measurements, pictures and weigh myself on the dilapidated scale in my bathroom. Hmm . . . maybe I’ll use the scale at work before I leave in the morning. Because I need the support I’m bringing you all along on my journey.
