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 University of Pennsylvania resources provided here are phenomenal. I particularly liked, under CVs > CV Guide for Graduate Students, the "Anatomy of a CV and CV Samples" section, which also includes samples of teaching philosophies and research statements and other good tips.
Here is a similar resource from Rollins College that also has acceptance, withdrawal and informational interview letter samples: http://www.rollins.edu/careerservices/resumesandcoverletters/samples.html.
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 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 CV is heavily research focused and is a helpful demonstration of a solid CV for purposes of seeking a tenure-track faculty position in a research institution.
While there are several elements of this CV that I would adjust from a content perspective, I like the style and topography. It is easy to read and "clean."
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.
