Any examples or websites with examples of what a CV should include when applying for the first post-residency job?

I can't believe I've been cranking out applications every few years all my life and NOW am stymied!

in addition to the tips on a cv, i'd advocate for a cover letter as well. plenty of people send in cv's, not everyone sends a cover letter. it doesn't need to be particulary long, but it can quickly cover some of your cv (i.e. qualifications) while adding some personality (what sets you apart, why you're interested in working with that group, why you'd be willing to move to a certain location, etc.).

two resources i used to help me with my cv and cover letter when looking for a position after residency:
