First of all I think the service is a great idea, the theory and tips in compliling the cv really help, its been over 20 years since I've had to make a CV so I was dreading the process, this has helped get the nuts and bolts together.
I decided I was going to compile it over a few days between work and home and spend a day at my office (self-employed) putting the mojority of the CV together, I was very careful to save each section when I added or edited text, however when I came to check over it at home I found sections missing, big chunks too, roughly about 2 hours worth of work.
Very frustraiting when I put so much time into getting the wording correct which I will have to do again.
I think the developers have missed a trick and rather than seeing the value in the tips and building process they have made it too clunky in order to keep the text secure and its a little flakey which makes me nervouse about spending another 2 hours re constructing what has been lost.
Doesn't feel like a freindly interface, its pretty sluggish on all my devices, my devices are not old and work well with other modern applications so I can only conclude it is the scripting on the site.
Such a shame, I will have to finish my cv on this site now but if you haven't started yet consider looking elsewhere that has a more robust interface.
Update:
I should add that I had problems adding text to my saved version, the interface would highlight blocks of text rather than allow me to place the cursor in the correct place and add or replace a few words. In the end I have had to cut the text the interface forces me to highlight then re-paste it back in, then quickly edit the text I want. I tried this on both windows and Linux, both behaved the same way (using Chrome and Firefox).
