Pretty okay but what annoys me and the reason im giving only 4 stars is that they're making me type a 50 character review before I can leave

Updated review

My experience creating my resume from scratch with Resume Genius was great! The platform was easy to use and the menu of options for different layouts was fantastic.

I did not feel the advertisement of FREE was 100% accurate since I could not print my finished product unless I signed up with an account.

So far so good. The templates were easy to use. I did want to switch the order of my work history and was unable to change it so I had to re-write it from scratch.

It said free, this is not free. If you're going to advertise as free it shouldn't cost me money. And shouldn't have to cancel subscription if I only want to use it once

As i initially started and on the site it stated this was a free resume builder but yet you will not allow me to access it unless i pay. I wasted time inputting information that i will now not be able to access. Now will have to start again on a more reputable site and hopefully still be on time to apply. Not satisfied at all
