LinkedIn is a great way to solicit positive references from your network, you should use it often.

One more thing, many resume-fix shops fill your document with keywords that they know HR departments are looking for, if you want a career and not a job you should not post your resume to HR but rather get someone to recommend you into the opportunity.
