I didn't really make any changes and I'm still using the same resume 14 years later. At the time it had 10 years of job history. Obviously now it has 24 years but, my experience level is the same and I'm still basically working with the same technologies.
I haven't looked for a job in one year and my resume/profile is posted no where online. I get about 30-40 emails per week and 5-10 phone calls because I put out the resume last March when I was looking. This was the same result with the same resume in 1997-1998. Post 2002 I never got a call and rarely an email back acknowledging someone received it. Also recruiters found me jobs in 4-5 days in 1998. Zero jobs from 2002-2004 (2008 was also pretty miserable). Again today recruiters can find me a job in under a week.
