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.

Be upfront about having to purchase the resume at the end. I was aware because I previously purchased a resume from this source before but I remember being surprised when I did. People will pay for a good resume so just tell the truth! Thanks!

I really liked the ease of use
November 6, 2020

I really liked the ease of use. I wished though if you had a wider industries selection.
Also, I wasn't able to edit my resume after I generated it.

We I went under my account settings I can see that I have the free tire, but there is no option to purchase the pro version. I could not find a way to do this anywhere on the site. It seems I can only purchase the pro version once I attempt to perform an action that requires a pro subscription, which honestly feels very scammy. Serious that is crap, just provide an option under my account. I also could not submit this survey without agreeing to a follow-up.

Easy quick
November 5, 2020

Easy quick. Although I did get kicked out at one point and had to start from the beginning. Frustrating but it was easy enough to get started and finish the second time around.

I feel that the price of service and the amount of options that are offered are equivalent. I think there should be more updates to the templates offered.

Nice template, asks for information I believe will be relevant to a Fine Arts University. Since I am just beginning, it is hard to lay out a foundation when you are trying to take your first big steps. This did a good job putting some meat on the bone.

Advertised as a free resume builder and never told that there will be a cost until the end of the whole process. Very rude and distrustful. I will be paying the $2 for this resume and immediately cancelling the trial. Not a good way to establish customer loyalty.

Loved the ease and convenience of the step by step approach. Some of the design options were concerning, but having a classic and professional option was great.
