Overall, while the service is highly regarded for its quality and ease of use, addressing pricing clarity could further enhance customer trust.

It was very good until I clicked edit my resume and took me to a loading screen that never loaded. I had to exit out and re-login to my account about an hour after creating a resume to get it.

Super helpful hints to be able to creat the body of the resume. Only complaint, some people don't have an email address as a reference i wouldn't make that part mandatory, there should be an option to omit that from the reference lit

I was under the impression that this service was providing me a "free" resume template. But when I went to download it after already investing 40 minutes creating the resume, I could not download the resume I had created unless I paid the $24.95 fee. It's enraging. It feels like trickery. I've gone ahead and paid the fee because I appreciate the template and I need the resume. But this feels very dishonest and leaves me feeling like I've had a terribly dishonest service here :(
