I believe this was advertised as free. Now I feel like I am being hi-jacked into paying after I spent my time. It not a problem that you charge, but this should me prominently displayed. I was trying to get the cover letter and it just kept cycling and I wasn't sure if the application was malfunctioning.

We also provide a full access account for a small fee that grants you 14-days to print, email, or download your documents using our copyrighted templates, but these features are NOT listed within the free account.

In addition, we do offer a 100% money-back guarantee for our 14-day trial if you are not satisfied with our services.

As for the refund policy, we do not process any refunds on recurring charges, as stated on our Terms and Conditions page.

It helped relive the stress of building my resume from scratch. Having categories that I could select that related to my previous work experience was even better.

Reason I chose this business:

I needed help and guidance on how to write a resume.

It looks like you can build resume for free, the after you spend lots of time on it, it says you have to pay. I got 3$ trial and then will just cancel, but it should say right up front that you are going to have to pay to get your resume.

Was under the impression it was "free" i am trying to build my resume and get a job. I didnt have $25 to pay but then, i paid for it anyway because i took so much time writing it while i was under the impression it was FREEE! I dont have a job right now and money is tight. Thats why i googled FREE resume builder. Trying to get a job to afford food and you all want 25 dollars for a F=n resume?! So frustrating

Our website offers a basic access account completely free which allows you to download a plain text version, Laureen.

However, upon finishing the document, we also give the option of continuing with our premium features if you are satisfied with the end result. This gives you the ability to print, email or download your documents using our copyrighted templates, but these features are NOT listed within the Basic Access account.

In addition, we do offer a 100% money-back guarantee for our trial fee if you are not completely satisfied!
