“Excellent Help!”

Raquel S.
2/26/24

The Customer Service Agent who spoke with me on the phone was incredibly friendly and helpful. I had no further issues. I do have to mention that using the 'Chat Now' option through the website, did not work. It said I connected with "Jair A", but I did not receive a response. Disappointing. Other than that, once I called Resume-Now directly, my issue was resolved in a timely matter. Thank you!

Top Critical Review

“Monthly subscription billing scam out of India”

Clark A.
2/22/24

The "tools" at this site are really not much above what you can do on your own if you are even moderately proficient with MS Word. But the point of the site is to get your credit card number and billing authorization, because in the fine print, this is a monthly subscription for $24/month - which of course, is silly. No one knowingly subscribes. The punchline is, when you call India to cancel, the pretend to cancel - but don't. The only way to cancel is to cancel your credit card.

The resume did work and worked well, however, the billing and subscription process was confusing, not knowing I was going to get billed more after, I asked for a refund for the money that was taken out of the account and was refused which was very disappointing.

You did not specify at the beginning of the process that I needed to pay for this. I'm upset about this but the job opening I'm applying closes tonight and I'm desperate to have a resume. This is not a good business practice. I'm canceling before the 14 days expire.

It creates everything you need then it tries to CHARGE you for the finsihed result and you cannot download it and then t will continue to charge you on a monthly basis. I would be more apt to buy it if it was a one time charge. But this is listed as a FREE resume website and they lie.

I signed up for $1.95,14 day trial & will watch card after reading some reviews. It was disappointing to find resumes/cover letters very difficult to edit once you download & formats don't hold. I even had a college computer professor and another teacher trying to get these downloaded for me as they appear on site. NO LUCK with that. And no Print Preview found to fix anything before downloading. Not too happy with this service.

It is sad that when you go looking for help to make a cover letter and it says free then they go and charge you. At first it is 14 days for $1.95 then after you pay this it states they will charge you $19.95 in 14 days. Wait what happen to FREE. Ok I don't mind paying $1.95 for 14 days to get help writing a cover letter of up dating my resume but a recurring charge of $19.95 every 4 weeks is insane.

We offer our customers 14 day access for just $1.95, and we indicate up front that this offer will automatically renew after the 14 day period on numerous pages during the sign-up process ( (with the option of canceling at anytime). This auto renewal is listed with the features of the 14-day subscription on the sales page, payment page, processing the purchase and after the purchase (on the confirmation pages.) We also send a payment confirmation e-mail stating the date and amount of the auto-renewal.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns about our services Thanks for getting in touch!

In terms of creating my resume I loved the website! I also really enjoyed how you have pre filled information to make it easier rather than sitting around trying to think of perfect wording to enhance your resume. So for those reasons alone I would love to give 5 stars!
What I DID NOT like was the fact you don't tell people that once you have spent hours creating your resume you then have to pay to be able to print it or do absolutely anything with it until you pay. If I had of known I had to pay I wouldn't of wasted my time 1) because im trying to get a job and as a mother of 6 every single cent counts! 2) because we are in the middle of a world wide pandemic COVID-19 and its hard to get jobs at all when Australias economy is in peril. If I hadn't of spent literally HOURS creating my resume I wouldn't have paid and would have moved on to another resume site.

I signed up for a subscription and at first, the site worked great. Now I no longer need the services and I canceled. I noticed I was still being charged $24.99 monthly. I have contacted them by email and by phone multiple times. They have said the subscription was canceled, but again this month I was charged. Very frustrated and just want my money back/no more charges. Don't bother signing up.

We’re very sorry if this caused inconvenience for you; Molly, 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 not canceled or that something might have happened during the whole process. Once a user processes a cancellation, they will automatically receive an email with the cancelation details for future references if necessary. Regardless, our team would love to review your account interaction to provide you with more information about what happened.

At your earliest convenience, contact our Customer Service Team, and they will be more than happy to review this for you.

My account was auto renewed without a reminder email. I understand it did state auto renewal when I signed up for the trial, but I do feel a reminder email should be sent. Any other company I've dealt with has this as a courtesy. In addition, my credit card company contacted me thinking it was spam. I got a partial refund, not a full one. Not happy.

I decided to try this site out, and like many others, I needed a refund. Juan was very nice and helped me get my refund, but the process for contacting the company was irritating-it wouldn't let me send an e-mail, and seemed to insist I talk to someone live.
