People these days don't take the time to read, and thats unfortunate. After reading all plan options I went with the Pro account or whatever it's called and got my resume back in 2 days fully critiqued. I saved a PDF for emailing to employers as well as a. Docx to modify in the future. Having the ability to have a professionally formatted and edited resume on hand for future use is well worth the 30 bucks.

I signed up for the trial, they were nice enough to send an email reminder that I would be charged unless i cann celled. So I went to the cancel my subscription link and it said pro had expired so I assumed it was canceled. Well now I get charged $30 bucks and I take a look at that link now it has a cancel button where before it didn't. What a big fat scam.

Its my fault I should have known better with these trial scams. So beware there is no cancel button until they charge your acct for the $30 then you'll see the cancel button.

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.

I needed to write a resume and searched Google to see if there was a site that helped. Resume Companion was listed and seemed to have some recommendations, so I used it. I was not aware that there was any charge, however, after I had written the resume I found that I had to pay a minimal amount to get a copy of what I had typed. It cost $1.95 for that including a cover letter product that I did not know about. After the 14 day trial, which I did not cancel, my bank was charged $39.95 a monthly charge for the account. The site would cancel my account then at my request but would not refund the monies. I did not notice that there would be a charge initially and had no idea that the monthly charge would be twenty times the cost of the trial access. I think I will make more of a difference between Google's ad listings and search results now. The help in getting the resume written quickly was nice (quite nice, however, someone on the internet could have offered a comparable service--at least what I used--at no charge), however, the unexpected charges and the quickly stated company policy about no refunds for dissatisfied customers after receiving the $39.95 charge felt like being tricked and being mistreated. It reminds me of other services online that seem to ensnare into more expensive versions--who would choose that if they knew? The person from the company who I chatted with said that the prices were not hidden and were not in fine print, and they were included in the sales receipt. I didn't see the $39.95 anywhere except in my bank account :) and as another reviewer said, it was even a surprise to me from what I could see online to have to pay to get a copy of the resume because I had not seen before finishing the resume that I'd have to pay to get a copy of it. Now, if there were other options or more evident listing of such important information (and there might have been; it might be legally required!), wouldn't a nice product make sure you knew about them? Yes, it would. Otherwise it wouldn't be a nice product.
