Are Resume Builders Free of Charge?
No, they aren’t. But before you start rolling your eyes in frustration, let us cheer you up with this: free versions of this software do exist. And all you need is a quick registration.
Are Free Versions of Resume Builders Limited in Some Way?
They always are. There are two ways of limiting free users: the first is to limit the number of documents you can create with the software. The other method does not limit you with regards to the number of documents you can create, but unfortunately you will not be allowed to print/download/share/send your resumes or cover letters without a paid subscription.
And What If I Need My Resume Builder for Just One Day?
First of all, online resume builders are long-term investments, because who knows when you will need their services again. But if you insist on using such software once, we recommend you to choose one that only limits the number of documents you can create.
What About Free Trials?
We’re afraid you have to forget them. You either have to settle for the limited free version, purchase the premium software or, in some cases, a trial thereof.
Ok, I’ll Subscribe. What Will I Get for My Money?
If you become a paid subscriber of a resume builder company, you can: create unlimited documents, print/download/share/send/host them without limitations, get access to extra customer support options, track the current state of your resume/cover letter and many more.
How Long Should I Subscribe To a Resume Builder?
The longer the subscription is, the cheaper your software becomes. Yes, you are obliged to pay the amount of your 3-month/6-month/annual fee in one lump sum at the end of each payment term, but if you compare the price divided into monthly portions to the price of the monthly subscription fee, you can see that you will save a lot.
Is There Any Way To Get My Resume Builder Cheaper?
There are plenty of ways to get your software cheaper. The first option is to get the free version; however, in that case, you have to face with (often unjustifiable) limitations.
The second option, if you still want to use the software for free, is to purchase the software, then cancel your subscription immediately and get a full refund. However, it only works with companies that offer a money back guarantee and/or paid trials.
The most logical option is to subscribe for a longer term instead of paying month-by-month.
Are There Discounts for First-Time Jobseekers And Students?
Resume builders will treat you like a regular customer; therefore you have to forget about student and first-time job seeker discounts. However, some companies offer students scholarships, which they can use to pay at least part of their tuition fees. These scholarships usually require students to write the resumes of fictional/non-fictional people in a professional manner – just like they have to do once they graduate.
Can I Cancel My Account Once I Don’t Need the Resume Builder?
Any time you want. If you do that within the period the money back guarantee lasts, you get a full refund of your money. If you cancel your subscription in a regular way, the company stops charging you starting from the end of the current payment term.
Attention: if the company has a payable trial period and you don’t want to use the software after the expiration of said trial, cancel your subscription as soon as possible. Failure to do so results in the renewal of your subscription on a monthly basis and you will be continuously charged until you properly cancel your account!
I Checked the Website of My Preferred Online Resume Builder but I Can’t Find the Pricing Plans Anywhere. Why is That?
Oh, boy, the tricky pricing policy. Sorry that you had to learn that this way…
This is an issue that deserves a separate article, but let’s just say this is something we strongly disagree with. In fact, we don’t even understand why this is such a good thing! We think that a client should know how much he/she has to pay for the premium services and what he/she gets for that price. And hiding pricing plans is anything but client-friendly.
