ResumeGenius Reviews Summary

The company has established a strong reputation for its user-friendly resume-building platform, which is praised for its intuitive design, effective templates, and time-saving capabilities. Many customers express satisfaction with the polished results and helpful prompts that enhance their resumes. However, concerns regarding the transparency of pricing practices are prevalent, with some users feeling misled by the marketing of free access. Additionally, issues with customization options and the accuracy of information fetched have been noted. Overall, while the service is highly regarded for its quality and ease of use, addressing pricing clarity could further enhance customer trust.

I feel as though this was a bait and switch situation. You advertise it as free. Then when you want to print out the resume you are hit with a charge. That information should be given at the onset.

Does not feel like the additional service past providing a template is all that unique or helpful? I feel like an option to just download a template would be preferable for people like me with varied or unique job experience.

It was so easy to put this resume together. As someone who hasn't had to create one in several years, I appreciated the availability of auto-generated options.

The way it was advertized made it seem like it was going to be free. Unfortunately sites like these make you go through the whole process before asking you for money.

I'm so tired of doing all the work of entering my information and then being asked for my credit card. I wish the pricing had been more transparent before I started. It's a pretty nasty anti-pattern. But I'm too tired to write my resume yet again so you get my money this time, but I will cancel this service as soon as possible.

So far so good
September 8, 2023

So far so good. Wasn't hired yet so time will tell about results. But great site, I just wish I could rename the sections themselves, regardless of what template I use. Personally, I like to list (and state as a subsection) "Competencies", rather than "skills". Yeah, they can be interchangeable, but some hiring managers like seeing that personal touch, the uniqueness, I suppose.
