Advice on upgrading skills please

Really? You going to nitpick on semantics? Not arguing with you any longer, as it's a pointless exercise. You tried to get me to throw around insults, which bait I am not falling for.

Cannot recall if Abzo posted or not. There was two posts iirc, and I did't take note of who made the posts. If Abzo posted here, it is irrelevant. He got banned. The reason was most likely justified as the mods are not unreasonable.

I'm out.

Hang on - where did I try to make you "throw around insults", or "bait" you? You made a statement. To be honest, the whole time I was thinking you did the RBP, which seemingly resulted in some guilt from you. Don't really care. If I RBP someone, I am happy to stand up for why I did so.

So, I got an infarction here for suggesting pole dancing classes.
Seemed a little over the top to be infarcted for a comment like that in O/T.
Anyway, to MJ's point, I don't really think I'm stupid, and more importantly, I'd have said the exact same thing to the OP or his "friend" in real life. I don't pretend I'm someone online and someone else in real life - that would be stupid.

You got an infraction for that? Eish. Oh well, we live and learn.

It could be worthwhile focusing on a niche market like paralegal where she can use her previous experience and build on it. That is a huge investment so if she is looking for something that can be accomplished short term a certificate in excel and/or a payroll system like Sage or Pastel are excellent marketable skills. A course in sales and marketing could also be of benefit.

There are a big differences between a paralegal and PA/executive secretary. One is more focused on being the right hand to an attorney / advocate. The other focuses on being a right hand in terms of business functions and helping his/her boss manage their day and functions. Having legal experience certainly helps the other, but not the other way round imo. Sales, payroll admin, etc, do not compliment a paralegal role at all. Having that experience however is a plus.

Huh? Guilt? lol. No, I didn't report any posts. I think in my 12 plus years on this forum, I have reported maybe two posts. If I did, I would stand by them as I think the action was justified. Action being deleting the posts and issuing an infraction (in case I get interrogated again). You clearly don't agree, so we can just agree to disagree.
