If you see this site opening in front of you just run!

This is just a scam not only the template and the process is deceptive. Once you bill the resume there is a problem with getting it in right format to your PC but the most important part is you will be tricked to pay subscription fee. You think you agree to minimum period to try, but then they automatically renew your subscription before you figure out that you still being billed $45 dollars is GONE from your account.

This is not professional site scums even the reviews are fixed. There is no way anybody could have a good experience with this.

I did try to cancel subscription you think you can not without calling and the operators are just not friendly and rude they know they GOT YOU

This website was easy to navigate and a great resource for me. Employers loved my resume and I was easy to create. I am a happy customer. The 14 day trail period was awesome; especially considering being on limited finances. Thanks for having a customer service heart. God Bless You.

While this website has very good templates for resumes and cover letters, the trial subscription is very tricky. The company should send out a reminder notice to customers ASKING if they want to continue with the subscription at a charge of $39.80 every 4 weeks or if they wish to cancel. This can be set up as an automatic message and requires very little work/cost for the company. People searching for jobs get too busy to remember when the 14 day trial is up and the charge goes through in their bank accounts. Then customers call to cancel and the company claims it is a valid charge because "we do our very best to inform the customers of the upcoming charge to their account at the end of the trial period." It's basically a very clever way of getting money from people.

Hi JS.,

I’m very sorry that you have had this experience with our service. All of our subscriptions are auto-renewing if not cancelled. We state this on every page in the purchase process and we send payment confirmation email stating the date and amount of the auto- renewal. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email and self-cancellation in your Account Settings.

I would appreciate if you would contact me directly with the email address you used to create your account so that we can resolve this issue quickly for you. Please email me at [email protected]

I look forward to hearing from you.
