Others have already hit the major points about finding opportunities (networking, word of mouth basically).

As far compressing your resume, my suggestion would be to pick and choose the few past experiences / accomplishments that you are most proud of or are most relevant to the kind of opportunities you're seeking. In other words, what would you actually want an interviewer to ask you about. Don't include dates. This approach is better than trying to write a detailed accounting of your entire career, even condensing each role down to a single bullet point. I'm coming from the perspective of someone who has screened resumes of and interviewed more experienced candidates in the past. It is definitely a bit of a turnoff when you receive an 18 page resume containing an essay about every project the candidate has ever worked on.

Same for listing keywords / technologies you've worked with -- no need to list every language you've worked with since 1975 (unless you're looking for roles as a COBOL or PL/I maintenance programmer). Focus on relevance.
