Investigating Trends in Your Career Field
Part B
Internet Research
B1. Conduct research on the internet
Do an internet search on the same subject—the top three trends in your industry. Review three sources to confirm or refute the information generated by AI, as one site alone could just be one person’s (or organization’s) opinion.
B2. Identify the top three trends in your industry
Using the information collected in your internet research, what appear to be the top three trends
in your industry?
Trend 1: GenAI
Trend 2: Employee Well-Being
Trend 3: Hybrid Work environment
B3. Share your sources
What resources provided you with this information? Please do your best to provide your three references in APA format (utilize the UMGC Library resources
for help with citation formats).

Part C
Interrogate the Results
C1. Compare
How do the trends from internet research compare to the trends identified by the AI tool? Describe similarities and differences.
There was great deal of overlap. Gemini gave three as it was asked to do, while the internet research general listed 7-12 items of importance. All focused-on employee wellbeing, Hybrid work environments, and use of analytics. The internet searches all also included emerging technologies, specifically AI platforms for generating process to assist with HR Management functions.
Part D
Create Questions & Explore
D1. Create questions for your upcoming Informational Interview
Based on recent classroom discussions, the career field you are exploring, and the research you just completed, what are two questions you might want to ask your interviewee?
Question 1: What are some of the greatest challenges you have faced and how did you overcome/manage them?
Question 2: How do you see Artificial Intelligence changing the scope of HR Management? Is this good or bad?
Please submit the completed template to the assignment folder by 11:59PM Eastern on Tuesday of Unit 5.
