It turned out good. It was very easy to create a resume. I did have trouble with the spacing between each paragraph being consistent. I was unable to figure out how to fix it.

Reason I chose this business:

It was the first to come up when I searched "free resume".

Reason I chose this product:

I only need the 14 day trial period to perfect my resume.

Hate that you have to pay, and you are not clear that after the trial ends you will continue to charge the customer monthly, I am just glad that I read the fine print.

It is ok, but too difficult a platform. Why can't I just drop a typed up resume into your program, and let it flow through? I have to cut and paste paragraph by paragraph, sentence by sentense.

Reason I chose this business:

I just started using it because it popped up with a pretty clean, simple resume. Layout.

Reason I chose this product:

I need a resume.

It doesn't adjust to a one page resume or puts you a limit to the number of words you write, most US and European CV ask maximun 1 page resume and when you do it in the platform, it seems like one page and then you download and its like 3 pages resume.

It seemed easy to organize the resume
