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.

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.

Not happy about having to pay $2.95 for my resume when you advertise it's free. Bait and switch.

Don't like being tricked into paying. Said free at start. Formatting was good and quick, but will be canceling.

The fact that things don't show up when you follow the prompts (specifically the objective) or answer all of the questions and that you do in fact have to pay for the privilege of downloading the resume but it is not clear upfront that you have to do so is why my rating is as it is.

"free" services misleading
March 31, 2022

"free" services misleading. Should have stated fees would be due BEFORE taking the time to build a resume.

I clicked on this website with the "Free Resume Templates" link and this was, indeed, not free. Still made my life easier by building my resume for me, though.
