The American Psychological Association has a free, comprehensive video series “Becoming a Psychological Scientist”. You can find a link to the videos here. The accompanying handouts provide excellent examples of how to structure your CV, how to request letters of recommendation, and the types of questions you can expect in graduate school interviews.

Consult these publications as well. They provide excellent information on individual graduate school programs and tips for preparing and strengthening your application.
