This service was a fast efficient way to create a resume on the fly. I of course forgot to cancel my temporary membership in time to for go being charged the full monthly amount. They were however very gracious and refunded me regardless.
It was easy to call and get assistance with getting a refund for the $39.95 I was charged as I never received an email or anything confirming I had subscribed to a service, and also when I had tried to cancel my membership before there was no way to do it. Quick response to my email to the support team, they said I'll receive my refund in 5-10 days, I'm doubtful, but also hopeful. I don't want to have to log a fraud case with my bank, and I sort of need my refund for bills before this weekend, but oh well.:^(
I completed my resume and cover letter on the site. I then had it checked by one of their agents. He noted many errors on my resume which shows me that the site isn't quite as good as you would think for a paid service. At least I have a starting point to re-do my resume now.
So this came up when I googled 'free resume word template'. It was a nice interface and did give me a pretty resume but I didn't know it was a paid service until AFTER I had spent all this time filling out my information.
The costs should be advertised up front, not after someone has invested time.
EDIT: ResumeGenius then contacted me offering a free month subscription in order to remove my review. I will not be doing so, and am decreasing my review score to one star. Absolute scum.
EDIT 2: I have no received an email saying my review will be removed if not verified with an order number. There is no order number on my 'order summary'. I feel this is a further attempt at hiding the scam. If I could go down to zero stars I would.
I had a quick and helpful response from the resume genius team regarding my request for a refund due to the fact I only wanted the 14 day trial offer. Thank you.
Don't waste your time or money! All they did was tell me that I had too many bullet points and point out that my address was duplicated by their resume builder. I input all of my information thinking they would build a professional resume and all they came back with was what I SHOULD DO TO FIX IT! Even their responses had typos in it and when I asked if this was all they were going to do, they just responded by saying that they cancelled my account. I only gave one star because "no star" was not an option!
Resume Genius is very efficient, the builder is very easy to use. Very informative critique of my resume with detailed tips on how to improve upon it. Best resume builder I've ever used.
I had an issue with being charged a bill when I shouldn't have. Without hesitation Mr. Mark took care of the situation.
Very fast turn around time over the weekend when requesting a review on my resume. Very helpful tips! Would highly recommend this service to anyone that's struggling with their resume.
Great customer service. Professional product, ease of use, variety of product and very helpful. Thank you!
It's helps a lot when getting a cover letter and a resume done but if they are going to make you pay a one time fee of $1.95 just to get it sent to you, you shouldn't have to charge them 40$ every month after. There is NO ONE who is going to need to enter that account every month. And now I've been waiting for my refund for almost two weeks now and still haven't seen it. This is a joke.
Used website to build decent looking resume. But then I asked for critique to improve it and I got extremely general feedback like "go read our tips for career objectives at [URL]"... except I already used their website to build that career objective so it should already meet their criteria/suggestions.
I shouldn't have to enter credit card info and sign up for a free trial to just get directed to look at their website more.
If I thought I could handle my resume myself, I would have just done it myself and not asked for assistance.
Hopefully cancellation goes through.
The page kept glitching. The words I was typing was popping up twice so in other words my sentences for my job description would look like this: I once worked at Goodwill Industries an I had to sort through clothesclothes. My page kept freezing up an it kept making me fill in blanks I had already filled in.
Looking for a job is hard, resume genius made it easy. They really helped my resume when i thought i had tried everything.
I tried a dozen apps before this one and they were hard to use. The only functions you wanted weren't available with out paying a lot of money. This one was amazing
One of the hardest things to do is describe yourself, and your job responsibilities in a way that works for hiring professionals as well as the robots that scan through the resume piles. This service took a lot of the pain our of resume creation. It takes it one step at a time, suggests keywords for many common industry related tasks, and allows for easy edits and resume duplication. Even got a brief look over by a rep to fine tune it a little more during my trial. I'd recommend this service.
This is Hawre, I just subscribed befor as one website visitors in CVgenius.co.uk only for building one cover letter so it took me 2$ was ok, but the bad thing is it took me 39.9$ after two weeks, in addition i haven't registered for any stuff like that, this is illegally.
You will be dissapointed in the service, will not be able to cancel, and will rack up recurring charges. The only way to cancel is to change your card number so that the recurring charges cant come through anymore.
