There a career consulting firm that offers a CD-ROM of important career strategies. With the purchase(about $30), you also get access to their advice phone line. The founder of the firm answers your questions when you call. He spent his whole career on Wall Street (SmithBarney)so this may be a perfect fit for you. I was very happy with the professionalism and results from Learntosucceed.
