Make it a goal to never need a resume again.
I was in discussions this past week with an Executive VP of a company I am hoping to do some consulting work for.
She asked for my resume. I laughed. Haven't had one (or needed one) for a dozen years. I'll never have one again.
So, you might need one now, but make it a goal to get yourself in position to never need one.
A resume means you have to sell yourself (figuratively and literally) to someone else. There's a derogatory term for that, but it's not appropriate for someone working towards breaking out of the game.
To that end, I recommend http://devcareerboost.com/. It's aimed at developers, but it pretty much applies to everyone. At $200, it might be a bit pricey. Disclaimer: I occasionally guest post on the creator's blog, but there is no affiliate program.
