Other resources that may be useful include this article from the Biophysical Society on the differences between a resume and CV. The author details how to tailor the former to each individual position to which you wish to apply – a critical skill for finding an industry job.
The NIH’s Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE) also provides the following guide to writing resumes and CVs. While there are no concrete rules, the guide provides a number of samples as well as memory joggers to help you recall your accomplishments and a sample action verb list to maximize the impression you make.
