This site claims it is free
January 19, 2024

This site claims it is free. Once you create your resume, they will not allow you to access it until you pay. It is a scam.

I was lead to believe this was a free service. Once I finished working on my resume for an hour, I was then only allowed to download my resume for a fee. This should have been disclosed at the start of the process.

It seems like a free service and makes you do all that just to charge you at the end. Not dishonest but should clarify at the end that it is a paid service

Described online as free and had to pay so that is why there is one star.

So far I did not see much of AI being involved. Nice formatting, a bunch of prepared bleak, quite standard, texts for "summary" section and that's it. No difference from any non-AI resume builder out there.
Also completely failed to import my existing resume. One of the biggest glitches there - it won't import province\state name after city name. I.e. "Smalltown, WI", was imported as "Smalltown", WI was lost.
