Resume Builder

I feel resumebuilder.com is a deceptive website. It looks very trustworthy, minimalistic, and modern, and it shows you all kinds of resumes it can "help" you create. When you look deeper though, this is an extremely skeletal, and low quality service considering you have to pay. There are ALL kinds of problems that I noticed on my first session using the site.

I have included pictures below, of how differently the resumes come out when you export them. To be honest, it's a bit sad. The picture with the navy blue text is how it looked on their site, the horrific yellow text document is what it spit out. For a (honestly kind of expensive) paid service, this is pathetic.

Customer service on this site is non existent, and it is mostly impossible to get in touch with anyone. That's where the deceptive nature comes in. This site looks really modern, but has almost nothing in terms of forums, FAQs, customer support, any kind of meaningful help. Pair that with the laundry list of problems that occur with regular use of this site, it is a nightmare.

I actually feel scammed, as this program has literally no options. It is unbelievable in 2023 you are not able to choose to export in 8.5x11. This site will only export in 8.26 × 11.69 in, which is not the standard in the US, and I could see this causing BIG problems for people. The fact that it won't even spit out a resume in the correct size is one of the saddest things I've seen in a resume builder.

You have very little control over font size, NO control over spacing, very little control over anything. For something that is supposed to make this process easy, this website is extremely confusing and lacks important features present in the most simplistic software.

I felt really ripped off by this service, and I would highly discourage use of it.

Service was deceptive so l canceled after one very poorly formatted resume and naturally they charged my card for an ongoing subscription for $23.95 monthly. Who in their right mind would pay that every month for one resume? NOTHING is free as they claim except a plain text version of the resume. ( Who needs them for THAT?) And then even when you cancel right away they start billing your card. I am going to dispute it at my bank and report them to FTC

Resume Builder provided everything I needed to update my resume and create a fresh, contemporary document to use in my portfolio. The template layouts are great, and the AI suggestions for text is very helpful. I am very pleased with the final product.
