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.

This was an easy process but pretty sure it said "FREE" then i was hit with the charge at the end. I'm not very happy about it.

I was under the assumption that this was a free service and I didn't need to provide a credit card. Once I did my resume. I was unable to download it until I paid a fee using my credit card.

I researched free resume building sites, ResumeGenius has information on the web that says it is free. Once I built my resume there is a pay wall. Low fee, but still disappointing. Other than that, I think it's a great site.

Google searched and thought this was a free site, misleading. Got to end after working for 30 to 45 minutes and had to pay $25 for 4 weeks? And then it recharges? EXPENSIVE. Maybe $25 for the year.

Paying is a surprise you find only after you've completed your survey. Its less than $3 but sneaky way to go about it. Ill be cancelling after resume downloads.
