Good website
August 14, 2014

Good website. Useful information for format styles on cover letters. A bit overpriced but easy to cancel membership.

I paid 19.99 for what I thought was a cover letter. I finished it and sent it in, only to find the following two months I was charged 39.99 for other services like a resume that I was not aware I had purchased. There was no email or indication that I was being charged until I checked my bank statements. So buyer beware!

I liked that there were such a large selection of formats to choose from. It was easier to complete the resume with the list of hints and examples for each section, for me that was a huge plus.

Awesome!
August 11, 2014

Awesome! For every 100 all hype bull!@#$ websites there is 1 gem like this. I paid $1.95 for the trial period access (7 or 10 days I think). In less than an hour I had turned my resume from boring and forgettable to classy and attention demanding! I went to a job fair and had 8 companies actively trying to hire me. I took the one that made the most sense for me and completely forgot to cancel my "trial" subscription. Oops. I ended up paying 2 payments of $40.20 by the time I figured out what the bill was on my statement. Clicked on the online chat to cancel and it was fast and easy. I got an email confirmation of cancelling before the online chat came through that Julie had cancelled my account. The actual product is great. Resume building is such a pain and nobody wants to do it. I know people that don't try to get jobs they want because they procrastinate on updating and making their resume current and attractive to employers. Even if you forget about it and pay an extra $80 bucks it's still worth it.

I could not find the pricing before I had to create a resume. Then I work for an hour to finish my resume and then go to buy it and it is very misleading prices. It says 7.95 per month but it is an annual subscription. They are very deceptive in their advertising. Below is the wording

$7.95 Per Month
Best value, Save 75%
Full access to all features including cover letters.
Pay upfront, renews annually
Cancel Anytime

Notice it does not say the annual subscription amount. Very deceptive advertising.

The "free resume" is extremely deceptive. I didn't appreciate that it said it was free and then I had to subscribe just to print it out. I understand that you charge people for that but you shouldn't advertise that it is free.

I used this website to help me create a professional resume. I really liked that it gave you ideas that you could add right into your own resume and also it had tips that were very helpful when completing my resume. I used this new resume for a job that I applied to and the next day I got a phone call for a phone interview and three days later I was hired. I would recommend this to everyone.
