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.

Advertised as free resume but after creating the whole thing, pressing dowload takes you to a purchase page.

Not super friendly after logging in and getting to my account and making all the changes it then wants to charge me after I already started this process and was still in the first 30 days and it never saved the last resume I did last month so had to start all over again. Very frustrating but I think I got it working

I thought it was completely free, but luckily its only $2. Wish to have known from the beginning but the templates are super nice and the site is very user friendly so I'm overall very happy with my experience.

Never indicated a need to pay until I put the work in. This is awful! Imagine being poor and not knowing what to do, falling on to this amazing resource, and THEN being greeted with a PAY ME FIRST screen. Absolutely abhorrent business practice. I had to pay for this for a friend so he can get help to get a job. He's lucky I could help because I'm penny pinching pretty hard myself.

I was told this was a free resume builder but i still have to pay money. It should have been said before the payment point that i would need to pay a set amount (with a pop up or something) so that i wouldnt fill out all my information, which took over an hour - to then be told to pay. Not happy and yet i pulled out my wallet - so maybe that kind of marketing works.
