Welcome, my name is Murrel Crump, and I am a member of Riverside County’s Human Resources Recruiting Team.   My assignment is in the eastern portion of the County from roughly Palm Springs to the City of Blythe and the Colorado River boarder with Arizona.  I also oversee the Desert Jobs page on the County’s Human Resources web site, ergo the title “Desert Jobs Blog”.

Web pages are great, don’t get me wrong (as I said I have one myself), but they are somewhat static and the content doesn’t seem to change that often. Therefore, I have turned to blogging to fulfill my unofficial duties as cheerleader and brand evangelist for the Desert.  My hope for this blog is to be a combination of really solid employment related tips, useful comments or information about the Desert, mind numbing personal realizations, and if I am doing it correctly mildly entertaining and amusing. Please let me know if I go too far one way or the other. 

Yes, you can talk back to the blog.  I say this realizing that I am bound to draw either controversy or ridicule; I will let you know if it goes too far one way or the other.

I have to admit to up front that I am not part of the X generation of bloggers, more like the Rx generation.  But, I hope readers won’t hold that against me if you are 30 something or younger, because believe me I am capable of contemporary thought, and if I don’t have the answers I can always boot up my Commodore 64 computer and log on to Prodigy.  Pong anyone?
