Traits of a Project Manager
Those that enter the Project Management field and get their PMP certification have a few common traits that make them successful. Being a good leader, with good communication, budgeting and organizational skills is a must. If you are a task-oriented and detail-oriented person, you will be successful, but the key to becoming eligible for your PMP certification is getting experience as a project manager. If you hold a baccalaureate degree, the experience requirement is considerably shorter. To be successful as a Project Manager, you need to complete projects within budget and time restraints for an employer that is willing to document your project completions for your PMP certification.

Our massage therapists out of a job?
What a nightmare, you train for months, you practise, and you qualify from your accredited massage therapist training course and after all that there is a lack of clients! I was wondering with the increased numbers of massage chairs out there on the market if they are ever going to kill the massage profession but I guess that would be a likely no. Yes you might have a few people who have straight forward low back or mid back stiffness and instead of paying for regular massages with their massage therapist, they pay instead for their every own mechanical massager! Problem is that it doesn’t give yu sympathy, emotional contact and cannot get to all the more awkward bits of you!

US Paralegal Definition
Always wanted to know what a paralegal does? Check out these formal definitions brought together for you.
From the American Bar Association:
“A legal assistant or paralegal is a person qualified by education, training or work experience who is employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental agency or other entity who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible.” Under this definition, the legal responsibility for a paralegal’s work rests directly and solely upon the lawyer.
From the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA) [USA]:
“A Paralegal is a person, qualified through education, training or work experience to perform substantive legal work that requires knowledge of legal concepts and is customarily, but not exclusively, performed by a lawyer. This person may be retained or employed by a lawyer, law office, governmental agency or other entity or may be authorized by administrative, statutory or court authority to perform this work. Substantive shall mean work requiring recognition, evaluation, organization, analysis, and communication of relevant facts and legal concepts.”
From the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) [USA]:
“Legal assistants, also known as paralegals, are a distinguishable group of persons who assist attorneys in the delivery of legal services. Through formal education, training and experience, legal assistants have knowledge and expertise regarding the legal system and substantive and procedural law which qualify them to do work of a legal nature under the supervision of an attorney.” In 2001, NALA adopted the ABA’s definition of a paralegal or legal assistant as an addition to its definition.
From the American Association for Paralegal Education (AAfPE):
“Paralegals perform substantive and procedural legal work as authorized by law, which work, in the absence of the paralegal, would be performed by an attorney. Paralegals have knowledge of the law gained through education, or education and work experience, which qualifies them to perform legal work. Paralegals adhere to recognized ethical standards and rules of professional responsibility.”
