“Kinda bullshit that you help me go through the entire...”

Tasney C.
3/19/24

Kinda bull$#*! that you help me go through the entire process of bolstering up my resume only to charge me at the last possible second just to download the resume that was fixed. Had I known beforehand that you'd be charging me to get MY OWN RESUME back right at the end, I would have chosen another company to go through. Enjoy your $3 because that will be all you're getting out of me. Also, saying "you must have put a 1 or 2 star review by mistake" is $#*!ing wild. Do better.

Best resume building website ive ever used. So simple and helps give such great ideas without feeling plagiarized. Extremely happy with the service provided especially at such a low cost!. You can build as many as you want for less than 3 bucks. I only need to use it once and its still worth it 10 times over.

Reason I chose this business:

First google search result. Great Advertising!

I appreciate everything - beautiful choices, easy help and navigation, etc. - great design and formulation of the website. One thing - Please think of a way to allow more editing - like rearranging the job experiences between each other (despite of dates, if need be), or not including a field, such as months or Street Address *maybe by not requiring those fields and making them a choice?

Otherwise - thanks!

Reason I chose this business:

Low Price, lots of choices, loved the designs, and the unlimited access. Keep it up!

BTW - it asks below if you should follow up with me about my order. I'm going to mention yes just to give you the chance to reach out to me with any clarifications. Other than what I mentioned, that's all I have to say! :)

Wish there was more of a warning that I would have to pay. It makes sense, every one has to make money but it was advertised as free so I spent a lot of time making my resume only to have to pay at the end. Didn't want to give up all the progress I had made so I paid for it. Also, the prices seem high for what your website offers. Why would someone pay so much for resume/cover letters? How many resumes does one person make a year?

Reason I chose this business:

Because I thought it was going to be free. Lots of templates to choose from and was simple to get through.

Quick and easy I love the pre written skills and the templates are also very clean and nicely set up. I wish that the IOS on iPhone would have more color options for the templates though. There's not too many color choices, I'd love to see more Natural green colors or lighter pastel's of blues, greens, pinks or purples.

Reason I chose this business:

Needed to edit my resume :)

This was exactly what I needed! I haven't created a resume in over 9 years and I honestly didn't know where to start. This "genius" of a resume building system did more than enough for me. It actually reminded me of all the amazing things that I've accomplished in my life with this guided program! Thank you, so much, Resume Genius!

ResumeGenius was very helpful in creating a resume. It has options for well written job skills related to your work history. I wouldn't use their pre-written skills, but if you don't know how to describe something, its great for brainstorming. It's very easily navigable and user friendly. After filling out essential information,the website can generate a well written summary of your resume. They even put it in different resume formats to suit your needs and fit your desired look. Extremely helpful in creating my resume as I have never felt confident in writing one. Thank you Resume genius!

Reason I chose this business:

It was easy to use, and did a great job helping me to write my resume. The formats were very nice as well. I liked that the website had job skill suggestions because they helped me to incorporate well written language into my resume.

I love the format of this website and it's user friendly platform. The tips and guidelines are very helpful! I also love the way the final resume turned out and the different formatting options that are available. However, there were 3 separate times when I was filling out my job responsibilities where everything I had typed was erased and I had to completely start over. I hope this glitch can be fixed in the future since this is such a beneficial website for beginner resume builders like me.

This experience was amazing! Wow what a help you guys are! I LOVED my final outcome! Guys, all i did was fill out my basic info, dates, job titles, places i've worked, etc and they prepared a BEAUTIFUL resume for me! I only had to pay $ 2.95 today for a free 14 day trial. Then if i choose not to keep my membership they won't charge me again. I mean I'm floored how it turned out! Oh yea and it only took 30 minutes maxium and i enjoyed a COCKtail while doing it! Woohoo! I FINALLY have an updated resume!

This resume looks UNBELIEVABLE. If I were a hiring manager, this document would make it very easy to do my job. This is an invaluable tool for people who need help selling themselves while also making the job search process way more streamlined! Thank you so much!

Reason I chose this business:

I'm looking for a job that pays at least $20 an hour, because my current $16.48--we have to face it--is poverty wage. I have an old contact who is referring me into her laboratory company so I can get out of retail and get some real skills (and maybe even education!).

Advertising suggests access to templates and downloads is free, but its clear now that you have to pay to do anything on this site. I don't mind paying for a trial, but the auto-renewal reeks of a scam. This is particularly troubling based on the significant renewal price jump. I fearful you site will make it impossible for me to cancel in time to stop resumegenius from charging more than the $2.95 I'm willing to part with.

Reason I chose this business:

Higher rating than many others on a review that I've read.

I don't feel like there was many options to fit my resume onto a regular size page. I also don't like not being able to use a prepaid card to pay for the resume since I only need it this once. I like the price to get the resume I created and was told I could edit it to make the information fit better. I hope that doesn't involve shrinking the font size since I want my resume to be easy to read for everyone.

Reason I chose this business:

It looked professional and has a good reputation. The reviews I read were good and I liked the look of the resume layouts.

Reason I chose this business:

With the every day changes in technology, and I am over 55, this systems guides you through every step. It also goes words/phrases for your resume that relates to the position you are applying in more professional wordage. I have not needed a resume in over 20 years and we know times have changed. Resumegenius made it very simple!

So far so good. Wasn't hired yet so time will tell about results. But great site, I just wish I could rename the sections themselves, regardless of what template I use. Personally, I like to list (and state as a subsection) "Competencies", rather than "skills". Yeah, they can be interchangeable, but some hiring managers like seeing that personal touch, the uniqueness, I suppose.

Reason I chose this business:

Needed job, was fired today.

Nursing skills are specialty areas not actual skills. Auto-correct doesn't seem to work on every area. Building my resume took much longer than 20 minutes. Very easy to use and edit. Love that I don't have to format. Not sure if there is an option to change the color of certain templates but that would be nice if that feature were available. Pleased so far but the most frustrating part was trying to pick skills for work history and for career objective!

Reason I chose this business:

For a fast, easy, and professional looking resume.

I would've rated it 5 stars if the payment didn't feel manipulative. The website itself is FREAKING FANTASTIC and extremely easy to use and absolutely amazing. However; I do not appreciate my time being wasted. I went through the entire process and get to the end where I'm being asked for payment. Not one time was payment ever mentioned. You guys need to offer a free version AND a paid version or at the very least tell people it will cost something at the end.

Reason I chose this business:

Easy to use. But annoyed it isn't free. Or that I wasn't told it wasn't free.

This is a REALLY neat idea. I am fully capable of making my own resume; however, I wouldn't lie that I'm rather lazy. I've truly enjoyed the simplicity you have established for building my resume. The amount of time and effort I would have had to invest myself would never have been worth what your website has done for me in just minutes. Thank you so much I really appreciate this idea.

Reason I chose this business:

Trying to progress in my career and really needed a resume built. I've been playing with the idea for months now.
