Here are some resources to study, learn, improve your skills on Microsoft SharePoint, SQL, Office 365, Azure:

Officially free:

• Microsoft Learn 
• Channel9 - case studies, recordings from Webinars, Conferences, Events etc. from SharePoint professionals 
• Office 365 training - for user, power users, site collection administrators

Problem: non-personal accounts (service accounts, functional accounts) are shown in Office 365 people search, which might confuse users.

Solution:

There is a managed property called "HideFromDelve"
