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.

Interesting app
November 17, 2021

Interesting app. Although basic word features are not present. Requires one to update verbiage but very little format options.

My problem with resume genius is that you aren't making a 1 time purchase so you must cancel your subscription or be charged 25 dollars every month.

I was searching for a FREE resume template. Yours was under FREE. It's not free. I don't mind paying a one time fee for a resume. I'm not looking for a job making $200,000 a year. But why would I want to pay $24.95 a month? I just need one for one job. Your advertising is false. It's not free. And what if I need to fix the pdf? Now I'll have to buy a pdf fixer. Never again.

I found your website looking up FREE resume help. I was completely finished building my resume when there was finally a notification that I would have to enter credit card info. Then when that happened I was unable to use a debit card. The resume does look great though.

Absolutely absurd that you wouldn't mention that there is no access to the resume until you pay a fee. I spent a lot of time working on this and then found out at the end that I couldn't access it unless I paid. Very sketchy operations. Will NOT use your site again.
