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.

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.

I find it rather aggravating when someone advertises something as free, then after putting in considerable work you are asked for a credit card number to continue...

Nice format but I do not like that it stated upfront no money, CC or information. But in order to download you had to pay after the fact that you added all of your information in.

The customer service rep was knowledgeable and friendly. However, I was expecting this to be free, not a sales gimic.

Was dissapointed that I spent over 2 hours building my resume thinking it was free and then having to pay at the end, but hey guess your scheme works. Kudos to the marketing team, but at the same time... (insert middle finger)

Amazing. Except saying it's free, just to get to the end and have to pay. Be honest up front.

I needed one copy of my resume and the only option was a month subscription. Scummy.

Excellent resume builder and templates. Only complaints is one should be notified that you have to pay for services before people put time and effort into building a resume.

Why is it advertised free?

Why is it advertised free? Would appreciate a little honesty so I know how much I am paying before I put all my info in.
