Wish it was as free as it advertises

Updated review

I came to ResumeGenius specifically because they offered great resume templates and resources for free. But after uploading my resume, that was not the case. Aside from that, there are wonderful templates and assistance available to build your resume.

There were no free templates available as stated online, and there was no option for me to fill in my cover letter. Disappointing.

Its a little confusing on how to save and continue at a later time. One time I backed out and had to start over. Besides that, everything has been really easy to use and it really helps me with the wording, look, and just general ease in making a resume. This has taken a lot of stress out of it.

Why must you need a 5 star rating before I see my product. Why also must I need to write so much about something before I see results?

It's just easy
December 19, 2025

It's just easy. Doesn't tell you how many pages though your resume ends up as, you kinda have to guess. I think this is 1.5 pages? Would love to keep it a clean 2 pager?

You real us in by saying it's FREE, then when we put all the work in getting it just right, you charge a one-time fee of $2.75 that will go up to $199. If not cancelled in time. LIES. LIES. LIES.

Everything said this was a FREE resume
December 18, 2025

Everything said this was a FREE resume. I spent almost an hour building a resume for it to cost me in the end and be forced to sign up for reoccuring payments. THAT WOULD NOT BE FREE AND IS FALSE ADVERTISING.

There is no One Off payment option!
December 18, 2025

There is no One Off payment option! It is not fair for me to be compelled to pay £2.95 for the first 14 days then for me start paying higher unwarranted monthly subscriptions.
I think your option will be more popular and acceptable if people are given option one off payment rather than this planned surprise deductions at a later date!
