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.

It's disappointing to have this touted as a free service, only to be charged in the end and have a trial I will need to opt out of.

Add said FREE, but it's not
March 19, 2022

Add said FREE, but it's not. Now I feel obligated or I can chose to spend 2 more hours rebuliding the resume somewhere else.

Misleading, it is not free
March 19, 2022

Misleading, it is not free. Subscription plan makes no sense for a resume builder and is a scheme to get extra money for those who forget to unsubscribe.

Well, it was advertised as a free service and then at the end you charged 2.95 for the service. Bait and switch.

I started under the impression that this would be free. After investing the time to build my resume it was sprung on me that it isn't in fact free. The resume itself is nice and the builder was easy to use. I just feel like I was deceived into visiting this website.

So far, so good
February 17, 2022

So far, so good. Would be a bit better with the ability to rename some of the labels, like "Career Objective" and "Additional Skills", but all of that can be done in the Word document, so definitely not a deal-breaker.

Had to go through three cards and my PayPal before it would accept payment. All FDIC banks and all with more than enough to cover 2.00 trial period. Get your payment system issues corrected and extend the trial period from 2wks to 30 days without increasing the trial period cost and you will have a five star product.

It would be helpful to edit the headlines like ("Additional Skills") and to split resume into two pages.
