Disappointed by poor quality software... [Posted on 2005-05-29]
I was very disappointed by this software. Sure it has some good features (that's why I gave 2 instead of 1) but the built in word processor is terrible (Nope, I was not expecting another MS Word but at least expected consistency between various features/parts of the software).

One of the supposedly great features of Resumemaker is the ability to preserve some general formatting if you choose to (e.g.) send the resume as plain text (an important thing mind you) in an e-mail. It does so by offering a number of styles for formatting your Resume.

For example, for the Summary section, you can choose a bulleted list as formatting style. Resumemaker would create one card for each bullet item you create. If you send the Resume as plain text in an e-mail, Resume maker would format each of these bullet items with a * in front. This is all nice and good, but for Rich Text Formats, you lose the ability to highlight individual words/phrases (you have to highlight the whole bullet!) So, for MS Word formatted resumes, you just cannot have bold words/phrases that call attention (I want to note here that if your style is paragraph, Resumemaker would allow highlighting of individual words or phrases).

Dissapointed with the Resume Maker Software [Posted on 2005-06-02]
I recently purchased this software from Amazon, and I've been experiencing technical problems from the moment it was installed on my computer. I am using the program at work, on my brand new Dell system, and it just won't act right! The print preview function creates error messages, and when I printed my resume the software placed weired lines and boxes on my resume. I've contacted tech support, and they are unsure as to what the problem might be. They've asked me to switch printers, remove the software, and then install the software. We've been going back and forth for about 2 weeks. I've used a previous edition of Resume Maker and I had technical problems with the software, but I assumed it was because my computer was a bit older.
As for the content of the software, I do feel that it offers some useful information. You are provided with a resume coach, with tips on the types of resume that may suit you. I'm giving this product 3 stars because of the quality of the software.

Very helpful, with a few bugs. [Posted on 2006-03-09]
I found this software to be very helpful in writing my resume and cover letter. It walks you through the entire process, and even gives you sample bullets/phrases, customized for your target job. The software does have a couple bugs though; 1. It keeps asking me to insert my Dell Picture Studio CD, for no apparent reason. 2. When I tried to submit my resume online, the software would not download updates, and I was forced to put my available date as October 2005! Not good. Also, I emailed tech support for help, and never received a response.

Good Resume Writer [Posted on 2007-03-18]
This is an out standing software program, and the company filled the promptly. I am pleased.

Resume maker - a good help [Posted on 2007-10-05]
Resume Maker is a great program to guide you through the whole resume writing process from scratch. There is even an automatic submission included, that posts your resume to hundreds of job web sites. All you do is click and off it goes by itself. Having repeated access to your basic data (like address, phone, education and work history) is also a very time saving feature of this software. Export/import from and to MS Word is very essential and here possible.
