The Academic Job Market Support Network is a repository and community for phds.
It hosts sample job materials for the academic and alt-ac markets, including cover letters, research statements, and more. @JobMarketSuppo1

If you're interested in pursuing a tenure track job, check out these guidelines for job seekers, with tips on materials, timelines, and feelings. https://medium.com/@halperta/how-to-apply-for-academic-jobs-in-2020-e4fac699b20b?source=friends_link&sk=129e09b873bfd0f6e20b0740e4f61bf4
If you're interested in jobs off the tenure track, check out the alt-ac support network, a community of PhDs who have pursued non-traditional career paths and want to talk about it with you.

There are lots more resources for non-tt job seekers, including where to look for jobs, how to conduct informational interviews, and more, in the Job Market Support Network Repository.
