Thank you, helped me make a CV within 10 min including 13 years of experience and a detailed description of all the information that are needed for every job title.
Today i tried to update a few things and at the end i had to pay 2,70. Which was fine until i received an email saying 'Your payment was declined', and at the same time i see the transaction as finished in by bank statements. Not only i could not download the PDF but also got scammed into some kind of subscription.
Today I came across advisor Sebastian.
He not only helped me with what I needed, but really impressed by his politeness. He understood that I wanted something really urgently and I have been trying since 5 days now.
Sebastian took this chat so positvely and guided me, helped me and moved me.
I really would like to give 100/100 to zety to have such a nice and kind person.
Please give him hike in salary as he truly deserves it
Seby, you are a tru star homie

We appreciate you taking a moment to share your satisfaction with us, Ali!
They ask you to pay for test period, then save your card details and charge money for monthly subscription without your knowledge! Never use this service!

Hello,
We are very alarmed to know that you feel this way and are certainly prepared to change the experience you had with us. We would like to take this time to clarify any doubts. Our basic access allows you to create and download a plain text version using our examples and tips; however, if you would like to download, print, or email a professionally formatted version of your new document using our copyrighted templates in a PDF or Word format you will need to subscribe first for a small fee that provides you a 14-day trial—the same auto-renews to our monthly access until you decide that it has met your expectations and proceed to cancel your subscription.
In order to avoid any misunderstanding, this information is provided before, during, and after the subscription is bought, we also provide this information in the welcoming email sent during the purchase.
We have refunded you the requested amount. We are certainly committed to changing your mind about us and ensuring that you receive the excellent customer service we pride ourselves on.
Thank you for your time!

There 14-days trial that I have paid for RM9.95. Now today, 8th August 2023, my bank account has been deducted RM 98.50. I thought that they will send me an email or inform me about the charges that they will do to me like 3 days before or a week before the charge. Now I need my money back, RM 98.50, and I wanted to cancel my subscription. Please I NEED MY MONEY BACK!

I needed a quick résumé, and this website was able to provide me with what I needed. I was able to fill in the blanks with my information. It even asked the types of questions that I needed... et voilà. I got both jobs!

Thank you for the awesome review, Phillip, and for letting us know that you landed a job, that’s terrific news!
Jorge was able to help me resolve my issue in a very knowledgeable and personalized way. He exceeded my expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed my interaction with him.
Thanks, Jorge!
Tip for consumers:
Speak to a representative directly if experiencing account or signing-up issues. The representative I dealt with was willing and able to think outside the box to reach a resolution.

Thank you, Cristina, for sharing your feedback and rating us with five-stars!
I was billed a total of $213.30 for 9 months after my $2.70 for a 14-day trial period expired without realizing it. Zety did not notify me or send me any e-receipts for each time they billed, nor did they notify me that the service had automatically renewed. I discovered this by checking my card activity on the bank application and discovering unusual charges that spanned from 25/03/2023 to 4/11/2023. So, on November 4,2023, I wrote to customer support requesting a full refund for each month they had billed me and asked them to remove my billing information from their website because there was no activity on my account. It is impossible to remove your current billing information once you have submitted it on the website unless you add a new card for them to scam you. In addition, I contacted Zety via Facebook Messenger, and the social media team advised me to write an email to their customer service or submit a form on Zety and expect a response within 48 hours. Nobody has contacted me or responded to my email as of today. I have to call my bank to disable my card and issue me a new one. I believed I was the only one who had a terrible experience that couldn't be resolved. But I notice a lot of people on here are having the same issues. The customer care representative who responds to each review here merely defends themselves and does not actually solve anything. So, don't use Zety. Do not enter your credit card information on their website.
Stealing your money without your knowledge is their business model.

We’re very sorry if this caused inconvenience for you; we'd like to take this chance to explain that if you did not receive a cancellation confirmation email, that means that your account was never actually canceled or that something might have happened during the whole process.
Once any user processes a cancellation, the system automatically generates an email with all of your cancelation information for future references if necessary. That being said, our team would love to review your account interaction to see if there's any history of a cancellation attempt.
Contact our Customer Service Team at your earliest convenience, and they will be more than happy to review this for you.

I like the website and the template to build my resume with, don't get me wrong but I don't need this service all the time throughout the year so I wanted to cancel my subscription. "They," tell you just go under your account in your settings and cancel it. Easy right? Well, that button is a dead button that leads you nowhere, you can even see it in the source code on your accounts page. Wasn't very happy with that but whatever, there's a customer service line. Oh, that didn't work either?! Shocker. The final resort was email and they sent me a confirmation email saying it was canceled but the best part was... they never canceled it! They are still charging me 23.70 a month for a service that "they said" was canceled 3 months ago. Yup, oh, did I say I got a confirmation email saying that it was also canceled so they made me think I wasn't going to be billed again? I'll just say that again then. Oh, and you can't see your billing history on your account since that button is also a dead button according to the source code. I've been through this pain so I hope someone else learns to not use this service.
Tip for consumers:
Just don't, once they have your card they will hold it like its a pile of gold and forget about you
