Update 2017-01-08: Updated ESL Pod links to Lizhi.fm. Updated Monkeysee resume link. Added English Café 306.
Update 2016-03-11: Removed VideoJug links. Added Monkeysee - Job search. Fixed Jobsearch.about.com. Update 2015-10-02: Fixed About.com video link. Update 2013-11-28: Added British Council - Advice on Writing CVs podcast.
In our course on Job Hunting, there is a class on writing impressive CVs / résumés.
For more on meaning, usage & pronuciation of CV and résumé, see these articles of mine:
Here are some useful videos and podcasts about this issue.
Videos
These links will take you to many videos about CVs & résumés, on video websites which are not blocked in China, and which usually have transcripts (sometimes already shown on the same page as the video, or sometimes you have to press a button that says "Transcript"). The links for Howcast and About.com have videos about many job hunting topics but you can easily see which ones are about CVs and résumés.
UPDATE: VideoJug used to have great job hunting videos on their own website and it was possible to watch them in China. But they made some changes to their website recently, and now their job hunting videos are only available on YouTube (which is blocked in China) at YouTube - VideoJug. For now I've removed the VideoJug links (if you have VPN, you can try searching their YouTube channel for "job hunting", "CV", "resume" etc). I'll see if I can find alternative links. Sorry.
Podcasts
The British Council's Learn English site has many useful articles for ESL students, completely free.
ESL Pod is a site for ESL podcasts, usually conversations that are spoken slowly, then an explanation of the words and ideas in the conversation, then the conversation repeated at normal native-speaker speed.
Monster.co.uk is a jobs website with a lot of advice on careers, job search and CVs.
