This should not be advertised as free. Low cost? Yes. Free? Nope.

Hello,

We’re truly sorry for any confusion or inconvenience you may have encountered while using our website. We completely understand your concerns and would like to offer some clarity.

Our platform offers two types of accounts: a free Basic Access account and a Full Access account, which is subscription-based.

With Basic Access, users can explore our resume builder and start creating documents at no cost. However, this version only allows downloads in plain text format and does not include access to our premium features.

The Full Access account, available for a small fee, unlocks a wide range of advanced tools—such as printing, emailing, and downloading resumes using our professionally designed templates. It also includes job search support like cover letter builders and interview preparation tips. This subscription begins with a 14-day trial period. If not canceled within that timeframe, it automatically renews to a monthly plan.

We’re always working to improve our services and user experience. Should you have any additional questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team.

Best regards,
Customer Service Team

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out. We’re sorry to hear you're having trouble locating your resume after purchase. Once you've completed and saved your document, you can download it directly from your Dashboard. Simply log in to your account, go to the "My Documents" section, and you’ll find your saved resume(s) listed there. From that page, you can choose to download, print, or email your resume.

Regarding the free matter, allow us to explain that our platform offers two types of accounts: Basic Access (free) and Full Access (paid). With Basic Access, you can explore the builder and create documents, but downloads are limited to plain text, and premium features are not included.

Full Access, available for a small fee, unlocks features like printing, emailing, and downloads with professional templates, plus tools like cover letters and interview tips. This plan runs for 14 days, after which it renews monthly unless canceled.

If you’re still unable to find it or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team at [email protected]. We’ll be happy to help you recover your resume quickly.
Thank you for using Resume Builder!

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you experienced issues with changing the resume photo.

Our technical team is currently reviewing the issue to ensure the functionality works smoothly across all browsers. In the meantime, we recommend trying the following steps:

-Refresh the page after uploading a new photo.

-Try a different browser or update your current one.

-Make sure the image meets our format and size requirements (e.g., JPG or PNG, under 5MB).

If the issue persists, please reach out to our support team directly at [email protected]. We’ll be happy to assist you and ensure you can complete your resume without further inconvenience. We appreciate your patience and thank you for helping us improve the platform.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your frustration. We completely understand how disappointing it can feel to invest time into creating a resume, only to encounter unexpected payment requirements at the final step.

Our goal is to offer users the ability to explore and build their resumes freely using our platform, with the option to upgrade to access premium features such as downloading with professional templates. That said, we recognize that the transition to payment could be communicated more clearly, and your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us improve this experience. If you need any help or have further questions, our support team is here for you.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry for the frustration you've encountered. We completely understand how disheartening it can be to spend time crafting a resume, only to face an unexpected payment prompt at the end.

Our platform is designed to let users explore and build their resumes at no cost, with the option to upgrade for access to premium features like downloading with professional templates. However, we acknowledge that the transition to the paid features could be made more transparent, and your feedback plays an important role in helping us improve that aspect of the user journey.

If there’s anything we can do to assist you or clarify further, our support team is always ready to help.

The website is good but I used this site because I thought it was free, and I only paid the $2.95 because I had already spent so much time perfecting my resume. Otherwise it is misleading.

Hello,

We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you may have experienced with our website. We understand your concerns and would like to provide some clarification. First, our platform offers two types of accounts: Basic Access (free) and Full Access (paid).

The basic access account is designed to allow users to explore our builder and try out its features before committing to a purchase. With this account, you can freely use the builder and create your documents. However, it's important to note that the basic access account only allows you to download a plain text version of your document, and it does not include our premium features.

On the other hand, we offer a full-access account for a small fee, which includes additional features such as printing, emailing, and downloading documents with our copyrighted templates, as well as other services to facilitate your job search (cover letters, interview tips, etc.). With the full-access account, you'll have 14 days to use these advanced features and optimize your document creation process. In the event you don't cancel your account within the first 14 days, your subscription will renew to our monthly access.

We continuously strive to improve our website and provide a seamless user experience. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Best regards,
Customer Service Team.
