Depends

Should I use Resumegenius?

Online resume builder with templates, examples, and an ATS checker - resumegenius.com

Viable as a cheap, disposable template tool: draft, download, cancel the trial immediately. Skip it if you expect genuinely free downloads or are privacy-wary about stored resume data.

Best for

  • First-time resume writers needing templates

  • People who won't cancel subscriptions on day one
  • Executives wanting white-glove human resume writing

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

Resume download requires payment despite 'free' framing — card needed before you get a file.

high

Users say stored resumes/accounts aren't deleted on request — think before uploading personal data.

medium

Reported ~$7 entry price funnels into a subscription; Reddit threads describe cancellation friction.

Support is email (support@resumegenius.com); billing gripes dominate third-party review threads.
