Pasmuz, you and I think alike. We are both metrics driven people from the "show me" state. I want to see the data. My "Jerry McGuire" slogan would be, "show me the research." :-) I can't wait to read your 2010 wishlist. I'll be sure to comment, and don't worry, I won't be too snarky.

You did dare us...but I won't. I will say that I was in a similar position with all the recent predictions popping up in the blogosphere. I thought I should do the same on my blog. But I don't have the whereto-all to even know what is going to happen 10 minutes from now, let alone what's going to happen ten months from now. I am a numbers person too. I like what you said about goals & measures. I think do the math, take your best shot & hope for the best. As far as posting my predictions on my blog, I decided to go with a wish list. I will unleash it later this week. If it stays as is, I may be the one called "snarky." Oh how I am so resisting calling you “snarky.” You did dare us…but I won’t.

The fact you think my advice is solid makes my day. You are so special. Amanda, you are one of the most dynamic people I’ve ever met. The fact you think my advice is solid makes my day.

I would one day love to live and work in Europe, and you inspire me. Alan, one of the blessings I count in 2009 is connecting with you, and becoming a blogger on RCEuro.

I can't count the number of conferences or seminars over the years that I have been asked to comment on 'the future of.....' as it relates to recruitment. As you point out, predicting the future is a mug's game. However, I will stick my neck out and predict this: your thoughts, musings, passion and contributions to the ongoing debate about HR and Recruitment will be one of the highlights of my year in 2010 (and beyond). Welcome to the world of bloggers and the international stage. Best regards Alan Hi Margo
