“Seriously simple Ai text resume builder, site organizes...”

Andrew G.
9/21/24

Seriously simple Ai text resume builder, site organizes and presents info very clearly and adapts from any given file to be readable and engaging while in a timely manor. Custom PDF Template that not only looks professional but builds to your resume's content value. This $24 investment is worth the return, save yourself headaches and time.

“The whole process was easy to plug in all of my information,...”

Anna S.
10/2/24

The whole process was easy to plug in all of my information, but was advertised as a free template, and then after spending over an hour fine tuning my resume, to download the resume, I have to pay a subscription fee. What a dirty way to play. I hate businesses like you who take advantage of people by false advertising. We're all just trying to get a freaking job in this crappy economy.

I accidentally backed out and lost all of my progress even though I was hitting save after everything I did. In addition, when searching for a FREE resume builder, your site does up and advertises as FREE and you have to go through the whole process to find out that's its NOT free. So it's either lose all the work you've done and restart somewhere else or pay for the membership. It's misleading and unprofessional. To be a service for people who are most likely job searching and therefore unemployed, charging a fee after advertising as free is kinda messed up.

Reason I chose this business:

It was advertised as free and on the top of the list when I searched

The front page of your website boasts free resume building. I looked everywhere before proceeding because I really don't have the extra money to buying anything. Lo and behold I have to pay at the end. Sharky and shady.

Reason I chose this business:

Deceptively lured in.

Easy to use, relevant suggested verbiage to include, with ability to modify if needed. Loved the different formats. The ability to choose format after all information was completed was very helpful in selecting the best format for the information provided.

Reason I chose this business:

It seemed to be a good fit for what I was looking for.

I can't buy just my resume, I have to buy a membership and then cancel it even with the minimum $3 option. Scammers.
Otherwise, the tool is very good. I would be very satisfied if it weren't for the shady fine print.

Reason I chose this business:

Top of the results list.

My experience was fantastic! I needed a professional resume created for me and the results were out of this world. The resume was done extremely quick. I could not have done such a detailed resume like the one I recieved on my own. I would highly recommend Resumegenius in the future!

Easy use and completion, said to be free to use but you have to pay for the fourteen day trial in order to obtain your resume and you are not made aware of this fee until the very end of your completion of resume instead of up front which i wish was the case so i didnt waste my time using this site

Reason I chose this business:

False pretensis

I had the resume process reset several times and it has taken me re-doing the resume about 5 times and I am 3 hours into editing the previous resume that I had on file it should have only taken me less than 20 minutes but your software was slow and glitching all night long making it an awful experience.

Reason I chose this business:

In the past I had a good experience but not this time.

Just interface is great but if you're going to advertise is free it should be free. To see a credit card request after you've completed everything, even though it is a great price for 2 weeks, it does put people off.

Really easy to build resume. The only thing I did not like was that it was advertised as free, but then there was a charge to retrieve your resume. I guess the creation of the resume is the free part. Allowing you use of the tool to make sure it works for you.

Reason I chose this business:

Advertised as free and it seemed to structure things better than using Microsoft Word alone which tends to have indention issues plaguing it.

Make it more clear that the resume builder costs something to get your product. Spending all that time putting in the meat of a resume just to only be able to get it for a cost is frustrating (smart I suppose but still frustrating).

Predatory Pricing schedule, I am unhappy that I had to pay to download after working on my resume using your template builder for three hours. Nowhere was that stated prior to use of the builder. If I had known I wouldn't have chosen to work with ResumeGenius

You guys charge way tooooo much for people trying to finds jobs. I appreciate the cheaper "trials" your company offers but realistically anyone looking of a job is not gonna have 23$ to subscribe... be realistic! Maybe 17 or 18$ by that's even pushing it. But $23 is a ridiculous amount of money to ask someone who is unemployed looking for a job. Do better with your company. And maybe you would see retuning users.

Reason I chose this business:

Formats are nice but the pricing for your services is ridiculous.

You didn't indicate a payment being necessary. You then didn't let me use a prepaid visa card. You shafted me but I don't want to go through the resume process again. You are getting my 3 dollars and never getting my business again.

This site said is a free site to build resume. After spending time to create resume - we then had to pay in order to have access to the resume. If I had known that before I started - I would not have used this site.

Did make a beautiful resume and was a good guide to help someone with a first time making a resume.

Reason I chose this business:

When I searched this came up as a free site.

It says free but you have to pay. I don't have a problem with paying the 295 but then you want to continue to bill me when I need one résumé that's ridiculous. You should be able just to pay for the one résumé and be done it's nice that you build it the way you do, but it totally sucks the way you take care of your billing.

I am up for a promotion at work, and I needed a résumé
