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.

Scam site. DO NOT USE!
October 10, 2022

This site is the worst! They charge you under the radar, I ended up getting charged $77 dollars for one resume. They lock you into a subscription which is almost impossible to cancel. Be careful if you're using this website!

Don't advertise its free when I'm getting charged at the end. Even though its $3, its false advertising.

Fraud

They withdraw money from my bank account without my permission. That's a fraud. I paid the $2.95 and they made me pay international transaction fees

There was nothing said about getting charged and I'm very upset that I spent a long time putting this together just to not be informed of having to pay. Im unemployed and I'm EXTREMELY embarrassed because I had to ask my mom for help paying for this. But I really need a job so I'm at your mercy. Can't afford the time to put together a new one. I really want my money back for the sole reason that I wasn't even told I'd have to pay for this. I feel like that's pretty deceptive to be honest with you.

There is nothing offered on this site that justifies the price. I paid it because I had already built the resume and I need it and it's just easier to pay and download, but I think it's total crap to charge $25 a month to people who might be out of work and desperate for a job. That's too much to ask from people with potentially zero income.
