Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) October 1, 2009 -- You read it in the papers, hear it in the news - today's job seekers have it rough with layoffs, downsizing and an overabundance of qualified candidates for the same job.
"Most career advice books and programs for professionals in transition fall short when it comes to actually guiding them from where they are to where they want to be," says Dave Patterson author of Over the Gap and founder of D Patterson & Associates. "Over the Gap is different, because it not only shows jobseekers exactly what's needed for successful transition to a new career, it provides the tools and hands-on support necessary to become a sought after professional and reduce the employment-gap leap to a confident walkover."
