I'm in the humanities so it's a whole different ball game in many ways, but you might look at 'The Academic Job Search Handbook,' it's got examples and advice for all the various things you have to write for your dossier (research plan, teaching statement, cover letter etc etc etc, with examples from multiple fields including social and hard sciences) and I've found it invaluable. Also, do not underestimate your school's career services office - my school did a practice interview with me and went over my dossier with a fine-toothed comb.

PS I finished my PhD in May and am now happily employed in academe, so it can be done, good luck! :)

Edit: might as well give you a link to the book ;)
