“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.

This process should be available to everyone in every circumstance. Paying a fee to get a resume to get a job for someone who is low income is moderately difficult and even $3 for the 14 day trial can be difficult for someone who doesn't have money to spend. I appreciated the streamlined process though and the resume turned out great. The service did what it was supposed to do and I am greatly happy with the outcome.

Reason I chose this business:

I needed a resume to mass apply for jobs online.

I have been out of work and a stay at home mom for the last decade and putting together a resume for the first time in so long felt so intimidating. I couldn't believe how easy this site made it and the suggestions it made were extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend anyone to use this service to put a resume together.

Reason I chose this business:

I found the site after a google search and it was exactly what I was looking for to help me.

The formatting is squirrelly and the import feature confuses the letters "ti" for a capital Z for some reason, which you have to fix manually. I'm going to have to polish it in Word, but overall this tool was a big timesaver.

Did not clarify when I started creating my resume that payment was needed to download the resume once complete. While the site is easy to use and highly intuitive, this excluded detail (which I must assume to be intentional to hook more people into buying into a plan) would have been nice to know beforehand.

Reason I chose this business:

I am entering the workforce after graduating with a degree in chemistry and needed an easy-to-use site to get acquainted with making a professional resume.

Resume Genius is great for old fogies like me who haven't done a resume in over ten year. The templates look fantastic and the suggestions are spot on. The articles are very helpful specifically the ones about the cover letters.

Reason I chose this business:

Already had account.

Nowhere did this mention needing to pay until the very end, and ESPECIALLY after having me create an account. Wasting my time is one thing, getting me to give you my information and create an account before mentioning paying is another. Straight up scam, laying upfront and charging after collecting data.

Very happy with the process and resume templates. Very user friendly, and had trouble finding the ideal option elsewhere. My only complaint so far, and the reason I deducted one star, is that it claims to be free. You can create a resume for free, but the ability to print, download, email, etc. is not. Tried a few other services, but did not like the templates as much, so I paid the small fee.

Reason I chose this business:

Good templates, easy access to AI assistance to generate a more appealing resume.

Great site, but $23.95? DANG! I think this is a great service but some people looking for employment may not have $23.95 just to add a job to their resume. (I am a travel RN, and it costs me $23.95 every 3 months just to update my resume...kinda sucks)

Reason I chose this business:

Because I already had an account.

Even though the resume writer is good, yall are obviously some slick scammers, the fact that once i click something it sends me to a payment page and I cant even go back to review the resume is shady af, and you know it

Honestly the website is overall fantastic and incredibly user friendly, the only reason for the 4-star rating is because the advertisement is a bit misleading about free resume. Yes, creating the resume is free however, to access and download you have to pay for a subscription. Overall good website I would just prefer to have more transparency before deciding to use a service like this.

Worth the 2.95$. I HATE redoing my resume and this process was so easy and helpful. This program allowed me to choose repopulated answers applicable to my line of work AND allowed me to easily edit responses in order to be specific!. I will use this again as this application has solved a big problem for me.

Reason I chose this business:

Searched resumes assistance and this populated.

It's not free! I searched for a free resume update and your website came up. I had to pay after spending time updating my resume. I have no choice but to pay your fees, or I have to go and redo it somewhere else!

The price to download my resume was quite high. I have used this application once before, and recommended it to others because of how reasonable the pricing was to download and access my resume. $24.00 is quite a bit more than I paid before.

This said it was a free resume builder and now I'm being told i have to pay after spending all that time creating my resume. Additionally, there was some things I wanted to add like references but all I had were phone numbers to put in and this site was forcing me to also list emails but I didn't have emails so i wasn't able to add references at all. So it would've been nice just to have more control over my own resume.

Reason I chose this business:

I needed to update my resume.

Very disappointing that in the beginning doesn't say you will have to pay to have ur info after spending hours on it making the person not have a choice because they just spent 2 hours working on it and wont even be able to have it unless you pay
