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.

Extremely quick, easy to use, friendly UI, done in less than 5 minutes. Being forced into a subscription even if it is only a 3$ charge is not very nice. I'd rather be able to pay a one-time fee instead of a subscription. All in all great website for building your resume, but there always is a catch. Especially seeing as after the trial it's a 20 sum dollar subscription price. I would recommend to use just remember once you're done to cancel that subscription :)

Great builder, really helpful to have the prompt and search for related job duties. Wish there was a way to search via duties or software in addition to job title. I work at a startup and where a lot of hats, which required me to search various job titles.

You advertise as a FREE resume builder. Then after going through the whole resume building process do you slap me with a fee to get my resume. That's just shady.

I spent an hour and a half last night and an hour today working on this "free" resume builder - get ALL the way done and then have to pay. I'm sorry - but $2.95 isn't free.
