This is a resume of faculty in Florida Atlantic University. I include the resume because I could not find the CV. I thought it was important to use the resume of someone who is interested in public procurement in order to have an idea of the overall background and expectations.
This post is quite helpful in understanding the difference between a CV and a resume. I found a basic search for CV format and content produced several resume articles.
This article in Inside Higher Ed says most of what we have read elsewhere, but it had a good tip I had not seen: hand over your CV/resume to someone who does not know you well, and ask them what they learned about you. That seems like a good way to determine if the CV/resume is getting your most salient points across, or not.
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.

Curriculum Vitaes (also called "vitas") and resumes have similar purposes - as jobseeker marketing documents that provide key information about your skills, experiences, education, and personal qualities to prove that you are the ideal candidate for a job in an easy-to-digest format. Primarily used in Europe, CVs differ slightly from resumes in their use format, and length.
This might seem a little basic, but sometimes it can be difficult to translate experiences that are rote or normal onto a CV/resume using clear and interesting language. Everything I have read suggests that action-oriented language is more powerful, and this article groups a bunch of action verbs by skills sets. Very handy.

This site has more subsections as well as a slightly different way to organize the CV. It does mention that we should keep in mind what type of job we are applying for. Is it a research or teaching position? This could determine if we will list research or teaching experience first.
