The Google Scholar site for a December graduate of my program. I thought this would be a good contrast to the others, with each example being at different points in their career.

My undergraduate advisor's professional page at Virginia Tech. It is a nice one page format with just the most important information. Similar to my current advisor's official site, it has no blog or commentary.

My advisor's ODU directory page. I suppose this a standard template for faculty here. It has many of the same categories as LinkedIn, but not blog or commentary capability.

This is my favorite professional website. It's cool, professional, and very informative. I would like to create something similar for my specialty in national security analysis.

I posted this after looking at OECD's Better Life Index in my previous post. After some quick research, per capita GDP seems to be the most widely accepted measure of national productivity. It would be interesting to crosswalk productivity with life satisfaction.

Provides a index to compare life balance across OECD countries. The US appears in the hardest working third of the profile, which is unsurprising. It would be interesting to find a comparison of productivity.

Another quick list of work-life balance ideas. I use the early wake-up plan myself and find that those 2 or 3 hours before the rest of the family awakes can be really productive. I also like to exercise at mid-day while most of my colleagues eat lunch. I find it easier to eat lunch piece-meal before and after my workout. I think it keeps my energy more even throughout the day.

This article suggests not using fellow faculty as subject matter experts in work-life balance issues that require interacting with administrators or human resource personnel. The recommendation is to treat each challenge as an opportunity for research and to seek out the appropriate sources, much like a study or investigation.

Provides tips on making teaching and writing more efficient, presumably freeing more time for "life." I've seen a version of his "paragraph response sheet" used by one of the full professors in my department. HIs point on tenure evaluation equivalencies reinforces my opinion that it is important to find a mentor or advocate at your institution that has served on the promotion and tenure committee for advice.

This article focuses on small tips to adjust one's work-life balance in academia, but it could be generalized to other professions. The recommendations are not surprising, but I can't imagine on only playing with one's children for only 15 minutes per day.

CV from a Dean and Professor at Rose-Hulman, a private four-year engineering institute in Indiana. I was searching for a different Carnegie classification than my previous posts, but still within my discipline. This document is labeled as a CV, but I suspect this is an abridged version for the web.

Another military CV, but this time from someone closer to my experience and working at a service academy. This CV focuses on teaching.

CV for a US Army Colonel in a professional graduate program at Stanford. I was interested to learn how someone translated their military experience into a CV.

A CV from an Associate Professor in my department (Engineering Management) at ODU.

Stanford's CV guide provides writing tips and recommended sections. I found the sample CVs from different disciplines to be the most useful part.

I was curious to find a technically oriented CV guide. I thought MIT would be a good bet. Their site provides tips and samples. It also links to my previously posted site.

Contrasts CVs and resumes. Provides links and tips, primarily for resume writing. Focuses on science, but general enough for any discipline.
