The second resume scam site I've come across so far. So many EMPTY PROMISES! And I'm 99% sure the same company as I reviewed before, just using another domain and slightly different setup for the same means of stealing money from unsuspecting customers.

On its MAIN website, before you've registered, input any information, it very plainly says that registration is not required and that you can 1-click export to PDF or Word format.

NOT. TRUE. An absolute scam and lie! They at least let you download a. Txt file, but anything past that requires a 'trial', which you will find with any similar services will continue to bill you for $30/month unless you jump through major hoops and dispute the charges.

You CANNOT USE THIS WEBSITE FOR FREE TO PRODUCE A MEANINGFUL DOCUMENT. Absolute waste of time! They even get money from suckering you in to join job web sites and other promotions from which they get sponsor money if you are tricked into registering by their false statements. I honestly thought I had found a worthwhile service until I reached the end, but I should have seen from the start with a few unavoidable ads they would require you to pay to get something worth using.

CANNOT EXPORT TO PDF UNLESS YOU PAY THEM. They blatantly lie and deceive you from the landing page.

Suckesr you in with a nice enough UI, decent experience overall. Extremely buggy resume editing leads to a lot of frustration, but overall it would be very worthwhile as there's a lot of features... except they're GREEDY.

I would be highly inclined to pay for their services if I, a little down the road, wanted to expand on my resume in detail, as I'm sure this would make it easy to alter the layout and feel tailored to individual opportunities. But even just using basic features they want you to pay for the right to print or download. You're going to MAKE me subscribe just to download the file I created on my own, before I can even be sure I'm satisfied with the outcome? Ridiculous. There is absolutely ZERO effective way to use the end product without paying them money, something they would NEVER let you in on before you start. Why you will not allow me even basic use of the end product before I get scammed like others with a sneaky monthly charge

Thanks for wasting my time on a buggy, and in the end, useless product.
