This program, while it may have its uses, is poorly programmed. I've gone through the web searching all reviews for this product and found a number of them mentioning issues with bugs and features. I did this research after installing and having problems. First, importing a previously done resume in MS Word caused Resumemaker to lock up. I also have an issue when creating a new resume. I get up to the 16% complete through the wizard and get an overflow error. I've even gone as far as deleting my profile to see if it were corrupt to uninstalling/reinstalling this program. To no avail. For $30, all I have is a cardboard box and a frisbie. With how this software is programmed, it is not even worth paying them $5 for. It's just obvious the programmers coded this quick and sloppy.

This software provides solid strategies for building a resume, both content and format. But it is impossible to import your resume into Microsoft Word without several formatting errors. These errors are not correctble since the errors are coded in Resumemaker before they are sent to Word. A huge delemma for you unless you're skilled at Word and willing to start formatting from scratch. This is a nearly inexcusable dissappointment for the manufacturer to have created resume product in a business world that wants your resume sent electronically. Especially when this Word import feature is sold as a benefit.

It also has glitches. It frequently indicates it's saving updates to your file when it is not. I spent hours saving a updated changes to my file only to find that my original was left untouched.

Buyer be ware!

...this one's not that great. I can get more whistles and bells with MS Word and more GUI with DOS. Not very impressive.

I was able to import my current resume and distribute it to serveral job websites within a half hour. For the money, this is an excellent product.
