This Stanford University resource provides sample CVs for several fields. I found the Administration and Policy Analysis example most helpful, although the field is slightly different from my own, because of the combination of corporate and academic experience in the CV.

Work_Life Balance Academia

Work_Life from the perspective of employer: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management provides Work/Life leadership for Federal agencies on Health and Wellness, Telework, Employee Assistance Programs, and Family Resources in an effort to increase employee productivity and best serve the American people.

This article says all of the things I want to shout from the rooftops. Work-life balance is an artificial construct, but it has real implications, and so many of those implications are determined by the workplace culture and "home" culture developed for and by us through large employers. More to the point, "It's imperative then that the companies we work for and lead develop values, culture and policies that support the full lives of employees."

This is an interesting "CV," styled more in the European style or alike an American resume. I like how direct it is, with content grouped to align, presumably, to reflect the position's requirements and the job seeker's skills. I wonder how this can be cross-walked, from a professional experience standpoint, to align better with traditional CV style and content. So many of the other CV examples lack a non-academic professional experience section.

Claire, below is a link to a professor in my department with previous non-academic professional experience. This is the online version of his CV, but it appears in essentially the same format on his "paper" CV. http://ww2.odu.edu/~ckeating/cv/experience.shtml
