My Perfect Resume The best Resume builder online

This site has some really cool tools for creating a resume, but there was a significantly troubling drawback to using it.

First, it was packed with preset content that enables you to just click qualifications, skills, and work experience bullet points from a list in addition to typing your own. This was really well done, and easy to follow.

As I worked my way through the site, however, I received a warning from the Chrome browser that the site has been reported for having suspicious activity. Ignoring this warning and continuing, the rest of the initial resume building process went smoothly.

Once the resume was built, I elected to download it in PDF format (there were several export options to choose from). Not only did the file not download, but the status bar of the browser indicated that something was uploading from the browser.

Then, I was taken to a page where I was asked to select a paid plan in order to download the resume. Despite being “free” to try, My Perfect Resume turned out to be anything but. The pricing page looks almost identical to those on LiveCareer and ResumeBucket, except you don’t have the option to download a .txt file free.

Further review of My Perfect Resume revealed that customers are reporting scams and other seedy activity from the service such as being overcharged, auto-renewed after cancellation, and more.

ResumeGenius

https://resumegenius.com/

ResumeGenius has a great user interface, beautiful resume templates, and a comprehensive set of prewritten items for virtually any job type.

Where ResumeGenius fails for free users is that it promises free access to your resume, and doesn’t deliver. You have to sign up for a $1.95 14-day trial to download the resume you’ve created in any other format but a simple ATS-friendly text file. The other option is a monthly plan for $7.95, which allows users and unlimited number of downloads.

NOTE: Many users have complained that after the 14-day trial period, they were automatically charged a monthly $39.99 for a premium subscription. They have also cautioned that refunds are hard to come by. If you choose to use ResumeGenius, be diligent about cancelling before the trial period ends.

Accessing that text file download requires a bit of work. You have to leave the builder and go back to the website from the front page, click Login, and select a text file download option from a dropdown.
