Where is a good place to sale my old wrecked car? Please help me by sugesting some sites or companies.

Working Girl, your last line cracked me up.
Regardless of your matchless sense of mirth, however, what you're saying here is very good advice. I particularly like the point about transferable skills. It's really important to know where your skills lie and how to use them to the fullest extent.

Point well made and taken! Resume should not become an obsession or self-diversionary tactic. And sorry for digressing a little from the main "diversify!" theme of your excellent post, in which resume-crafting plays only a very small part.
My favorite take-aways here: "Start right now" & "Make many contacts"

Yes, working on your resume is a great way to clarify your thinking. And to bask, a bit, in your accomplishments.
But I will say that we should be careful not to spend too much time on them! The tendency is to obsess (at least mine is).
Plus there's a little danger in that when we're resume-writing we feel we are job hunting. And we're not really. A resume is something you need to have, but working on one is not the same as looking for a job.
Guess I'm feeling a bit curmudgeonly today.....

Another great post, Karen. A good place to "start starting over," I've found, is by revamping the resume. It's hard work, but the process of reviewing my skills and accomplishments, *and* having to think of how to present them in the most positive and focussed way, helps me to be more positive and focussed, too.
