Job Hunting and CV Writing
"In addition to the books we have in the department and the article in Perspectives on the dos and don'ts of constructing a cover-letter and CV, I found these helpful resources for graduate students planning to go on the academic job market. It is crucial to remember that you should not copy/paste or lift phrases from sample cover letters and CVs since search committees will often be able to sense when something is not original; especially when more than one applicant has the same wording in their application materials."
