Overall this is a fantastic resume generator. A was to include explanations for gaps in employment and/or to make small edits to wording would be super helpful.

I thought your service said free resumes... but it cost $2.95 for 7 days. The service said it was free but it was not free. The software was easy to use.

I thought I was paying 7.95 for a month and it came up $95. The small print was very small. Also you should advertise the fee at the beginning. This is dishonest business practices. Your link came up when I googled "free resume template".

It's very deceptive to promote a free resume when in actuality you really do not get one. You get a text version which no one can do anything with. You force people to add their credit cards when you know most will forget then be charged days later.

Resume builder is nice, annoying to go through the process and then expect to pay after putting effort into the resume itself.
