Great customer service
December 28, 2020

Jackie was very helpful when I called the customer service line. She explained what was included in my purchase as well as offered me options if I chose to reconsider leaving. 10/10 was an excellent interaction and service

Zety CV's advertised price of $5.75 per month turned out to be misleading. After my trial ended, they charged me $23 instead. Their customer support was slow and unhelpful, offering no explanation or resolution. This deceptive pricing and lack of transparency wasted my time and money. I strongly advise against using Zety CV and suggest exploring alternatives with better business practices.

Maria Mora: so sweet!
July 26, 2023

I've had good experiences having Zety's resume builder. It's prompts and templates are applicable to many job fields. I've used it to jobs in education and well as sales. It may be less beneficial for fields of study such as professional psychology jobs. Certain jobs are so specific on formatting that they may not work as easily with the beautiful template choices from Zety. Ive been able to create and save several resumes and cover letters that stand out among other candidates. I'll be back! Maria made canceling for now very easy and gave me options for changing my plan if I wanted to still keep zety.

In the name of full disclosure, Zety and I parted ways. Not over anything lacking in their platform. I just didn't need a resume software anymore.

I will say that even from a product standpoint, their platform is top notch.

What really pushed this rating to a 5 star was the impeccable customer service they provided.

The rep I worked with, and I feel horrible now because delivered what unfortunately tends to be rarity in today's business tendencies. The gentleman gave me his name but I was in motion without a pen when he gave it so I forgot it, but he's a true value to an already impressive organization with tons of value.

Keep it up Zety! Great job!

Absolutely terrible customer service and technical support. I have been paying $6.99 USD for months now and recently I can't download any of my resumes as an error message pops up stating that I need to "renew my plan". I have all receipts available to show I've paid my monthly subscription fee. Zety's response… "we'll give you 12 hours of free premium service so you can download your resumes". This does nothing as I can't even access the premium site, again the same message pops up, nor does it fix the issue I'm having with this Classic site. Close to 10 (or more) e-mails have been sent to support and every one of their responses has been automated with a "we'll respond within 24-48 hours" and "we have escalated your issue". Two weeks later and still nothing! My resumes are being held "hostage". I'm very dissatisfied in their level of professionalism along with technical knowledge of their own product. Very, very frustrating. I would not recommend them.

We're very sorry to read this, Kathie, sadly we are not aware of what happened during your interaction with our team.

Usually, this behavior occurs when you try using the Old Zety Version (Zety Legacy). Also when the cookies of the site are too large due to that reason we always recommend clearing your cache and cookies before accessing the site, it's very important to know that you must be using Google Chrome.

If this does not solve the problem we strongly recommend that you contact Customer Service so they can escalate this issue for you.

SCAM
January 11, 2024

After entering your information and attaching your credit card, it becomes impossible to remove or delete it. Zety.com continues to charge you even after you've supposedly "canceled" your subscription. The company relies on people forgetting, as I did, and not verifying whether the subscription remains inactive after cancellation. While their resume and motivational letter creation service is effective and worth the price, the subscription cancellation process appears to be a deliberate scam. Due to purported mistakes or technical issues, the cancellation is deemed invalid, resulting in significant monthly charges for a nonexistent service.

Hello,

We are genuinely sorry for any confusion. We would like to take this time to clarify any doubts.

To cancel your subscription, follow these steps from the Settings menu:
1. Choose "Cancel Subscription."
2. Scroll down the page until you see the option "Yes, Cancel My Account."
3. Before clicking the cancellation button, make sure to select the check mark indicating, "I understand I will lose access to my saved resumes and cover letter but still want to cancel."
4. Once you've checked the box, you'll be able to click the cancellation button without any problems.

Please note that the cancellation will not go through if you don't click on the checkmark.

We always want our customers to have the best experience with our products or services, and we would like to find a way to make that happen. We have provided you with a refund and have escalated the card deletion request. We are certainly committed to changing your mind about us and ensuring that you receive the excellent customer service we pride ourselves on.

Thank you for your time!

Online Fraud. Thieves
November 9, 2023

There's no way that I can cancel the subscription by myself and I call my bank. Now I have to change my bank details. I Had to order a new credit card and individually inform all my associates and clients. Nightmare! There is no possibility for unsubscribing. And their advertised price of $5.75 per month turned out to be misleading. After my trial ended, they charged me 25 eur instead and did that three times, With my stolen 75 eur I wish your boss to buy medicines for his children!

Hello,

We are very alarmed to know that you feel this way and are certainly prepared to change the experience you had with us. We would like to take this time to clarify any doubts. We provide multiple options available that include free and paid subscriptions. Our basic access allows you to create and download a plain text version using our examples and tips; however, if you would like to download, print, or email a professionally formatted version of your new document using our copyrighted templates in a PDF or Word format, you will need to subscribe first for a small fee that provides you a 14-day trial—the same auto-renews to our monthly access until you decide that it has met your expectations and proceed to cancel your subscription.

In order to avoid any misunderstanding, this information is provided before, during, and after the subscription is bought. We also provide this information in the welcoming email sent during the purchase.

We would love to help you with your refund request. Please look for a message from us asking for your account information. We are certainly committed to changing your mind about us and ensuring that you receive the excellent customer service we pride ourselves on.

They've kept my card details without my consent, although I requested to delete them, and then they've stolen the money from my account. I hoped that it's just a misunderstanding, and emailed them expecting them to apologize and give the money back like any adequate company would. They did not. I've reported it, and hopefully, they will face the consequences, but the money is gone. I've talked to several people, and apparently, they do that all the time: that's how they earn. DON'T deal with them if you don't want to become a victim of fraud. This is a scam.

I LOVE ZETY! Not only because of the wonderful products and benefits of using it as a resource to enhance my resume but also for people like Mr. Ricardo Serrano who took the time to fully explain the use of every tab on the dashboard! He even offered me a discount on my monthly subscription! He should be the one making commercials for your business!
Again, no other service ranks as number one like Zety!

Wow! Finished my first resume on Zety. Had a download issue and called them. Not only did James remove the download barrier, he took pride in MY resume and offered to clean it up per the algorithm that wasn't quite at 100%! I I said yes. James did a great job servicing me way beyond the reason for my call. Thank you!

I recently changed my primary bank, so this account no longer has a lot of activity. I noticed this transaction and found 20 charges! I never authorized for this company to take monthly payments. And if I signed up how come I have no account with Zety? No e-Mail confirmation? Where are my monthly invoices? I've had the same E-mail address for years. I have been scammed for $453.00 for two years! Zety I need this cancelled immediately!

Great Resume Service
February 2, 2024

Zety is an outstanding app for crafting resumes. Its user-friendly interface makes it particularly advantageous for non-English speakers. Personally, I encountered some challenges in creating a resume in English version, and Zety proved to be an invaluable resource in overcoming them. I highly recommend this platform to anyone seeking an efficient and user-friendly solution for resume building. Especially I appreciate to their excellent customer service.
