UPDATE - Great News! (Given the Boot)

I'm pretty sure one of out HR managers at Budweiser just relocated, there may be an opening there ... keeping an eye out on buschjobs.com

Dude, go for this one, the freebies must be off the hook!   

Dents!!!!

 
You know, I wonder if they have probs with people drinking on the job? haha. That would be a cool gig - and now that I have some manufacturing experience, I am going to check out their web page....thanks for the tip AlpineX.

[q the Lab.  They seem to have several openings that fits your experience.

Thanks LapuLapu!
I will take a look!

Sorry to hear about the "boot" Cherie, I will have a beer waiting for you at Crabfest
Enjoy your time off before you enter the work force again

I will take you up on that beer, thank you! See you at CF!

Can I just say how incredible my NCKA brothers and sisters are???
Seriously, you don't know how much I have appreciated all of the leads, links, and recommendations everyone has been giving me, both here and in private messages. I am humbled by all of the help and support.
 .....You guys ROCK. 'Just saying.
 

Sorry to hear your predicament.
My wife is in HR as well. I told her to keep her eye out for any openings.

I'm assuming you've looked at jobs here: http://www.nchra.org/

Yes! I'm a member of NCHRA, great organization.  I'm checking their job site every day, but most postings are for jobs in the bay area and the drive over the hill from Lodi would be pretty crazy.

Shhh! No one here drinks on the job  There are several jobs to look into, as far as HR positions, and I'm betting becoming a manager of some sort would fit pretty well with your education/certifications. Not to sure about that side of things, again, I'm maintenance, but 3 free cases of beer a month ain't too bad for freebies! I'd just keep an eye on the site and openings, if you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to get the answer for you!

I started updating my "Linked In" account and realized that I also needed to update my photo! Huge kudo's and thanks to my friend Mary Humphrey   http://maryhumphreyphotography.com/ who helped me in-a-pinch to update my profile pic! She was wonderful - she didn't even charge me a fee, which was super sweet of her.

Nice photo of you C, nice of a true friend to help you out.
BTW I brought home those 2 beers I brought to Crabfest for you/us, we will have to crack them at the next get together.
Good luck with the job hunt!

Thanks Novo! I thought she took some good ones, and this is the one I ended up using on Linked In. People look different when they aren't in their kayaks, haha.
We'll do beers the next time I see ya! Still thinking about the idea of a uke gathering in the next month or so - sounded like a fun idea.

Wow, you really are on a roll, Juan B.  . . . .

Ya know, I am told that a lot.    There are some pretty terrible HR people out there and I hear some crazy stories!
But don't let the smile fool you, I can be tough when needed. I am always straight-up and honest about how it is. I was working with Class A truckers in my last job and learned how to deal with a variety of situations (to say the least, LOL).

hey! time for some lawyer jokes

I second the suggestion to check with Lawrence Berkeley Lab. I worked at UC Davis for 40 years, and they were mostly very good employers. I got close-ups while acting a a bargainer for the Clerical union, and the HR people seemed to be very genuinely sorry they were not allowed by management to actually bargain in good faith as required. So check with them, UoP, Cal State Stanislaus (Stockton Campus), etc. there have to be jobs out there!
