1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, February 29, 2004

By

This review is from: ResumeMaker Professional 11 (Old Version) (CD-ROM)

Package clearly states it imports resumes. When you get to that part it tells you that if you want to import it will have to be plain text (i.e. no Word docs), with bullets and formatting removed. Well, that's pretty much just not importing.

Secondly, the program hangs on XP all the time. I have a brand new machine, with patches. And I updated Resume Maker right off. Still hangs.

Really, this is a waste of money. I'm giving up on it and going back to Word. All the other 'features' (sample resumes, etc.) can be found at many websites.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Updated, September 6, 2004

This review is from: ResumeMaker Professional 11 (Old Version) (CD-ROM)

The best part of this program is that it offers a variety of formats to use to write your resume. However, if you dare use the "Resume Caster" option, you'll get your email address sent to many different online employment agencies that will then send you job offers that are not even in your field. The end result is that you have a whole new set of spammers flooding your email box constantly. In addition, the salaries that they quote for some jobs are over 10 years old! So if you wanted to find a current salary range for the job you're seeking, you'll know what the WERE ten years ago. There are other parts of this program that are decent and I think it's worth a purchase for some people.

This review is from: ResumeMaker Professional 11 (Old Version) (CD-ROM)

The drop-down menus are not specific enough for different job titles, I have a M.S. in Chem. Eng, my choice from Resume Maker is chemical technician. Graphics do not export to a Word format. Resume Caster i.e. send one resume to multiple job sites, is very limited and useless if your are experienced in your area of work. Software locks-up often. Waste of Money. I wish I could get a refund.
