If one can eliminate deadwood and keep the resumé a living and updated document, there will be no rush when the perfect job presents itself. This is excellent advice.

One thing I noticed while giving interviews is not everyone should list their certifications. If you haven't used the material covered in a certification in a while, DO NOT list it. A good interviewer will call you out on it. Also, if you have a certification which builds upon another like the Cisco Networking certifications, just list the last one you received. It is implied you had to go through the first level of certification to get the one you have now. And the last thing not to do with certifications, do not list ones you are working on! There were many interviews I have conducted where the person I was interviewing couldn't answer one question regarding material covered in one (and sometimes any) of their "Certifications" with confidence. If you list a certification, make sure you know ALL the material the certification covers. I work in the IT field and regularly interview candidates for positions within my department.
