I opened my e-mail a few minutes ago and saw a message from a fellow HR blogger we all know and admire. He is gathering 2009 predictions from the blogosphere for HR, recruiting, blogging, technology, etc.
The way my days have been going lately, I knew that if I did not respond right now, it would be almost 2010 before I got back to it. So, I gave him three off the top of my head. I don’t want to steal his thunder so I won’t “divulge” my three but I have got to tell you one of my predictions:
HR professionals reaching out to HR students via blogs etc to provide valuable industry insight and learnings.
Wouldn’t this be so cool? Does anybody say “cool” anymore? Am I showing my age? Ah, who cares.
What do you think?
PS. If you have any predictions you’d like to share, you can send them to Lance Haun, Your HR Guy, at lancehaun (AT) gmail (DOT) com.

Hi Lisa!
As a twenty three year old graduate HR student, trying to get my foot in the HR door, I second your cool idea… (and yes cool is still cool).
While my professors have tried to make my degree as practical as can be from a classroom, I’m constantly perusing the blog sites for practical tips and know how that I wouldn’t otherwise be familiar with. I am currently working in a small company assisting, unfortunately, a human resources generalist with no experience and no education in HR, so I have a definite lack of mentoring or coaching available to me.
I’m looking forward to the predictions.
Have a good day!
Jenn
