2.0 out of 5 stars Resume Maker Deluxe is Flawed, February 12, 2002

By A Customer

This program promises a lot of power....and if you can keep it running, it delivers.

The interface is intuitive and easy to use. It's loaded with predefined phrases and action-words that make the process of creating a resume really helpful. It also includes job descriptions for nearly every job you can think of. This is an especially nice touch if you're considering changing careers and you want to fine-tune your resume with all the right buzzwords.

I've been keeping my resume up to date in MS Word, but I decided to use Resume Maker Deluxe to update it. It's easy to paste your existing resume into Resume Maker and use that as a starting point. I added some action words and some new phrasing and had a nicely updated resume.

The problem is, the program CRASHES A LOT!! I'm running Windows XP. I have a powerful and stable computer. Resume Maker Deluxe is my only program that routinely crashes, or quits with no warning. If you're patient and willing to put up with lousy stability this program is worth considering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, October 9, 2001

Lisa (Pleasanton, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Resumemaker Deluxe 9.0 (Old Version) (CD-ROM)

When I first graduated, a recruiter from a prominent placement firm in my area recommended ResumeMaker. I successfully found a position with the resume I developed using that program. Recently, I found myself seeking a new position and needed to update my resume. The latest and greatest version of ResumeMaker helped me develop an attractive and impressive resume. I was able to customize resume styles to suit various industries, and easily tailor my presentation to specific employers and recruiters. One recruiter confided that she regularly recommends changes to resumes and cover letters, but she suggested no changes to the resume I created with ResumeMaker! I used the scheduling feature to note when I had submitted a resume, plan follow-up calls, schedule interviews, and be reminded to send thank you letters after interviews.
Thanks ResumeMaker for helping me (again) to find a great job!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, don't order it and Espeacially! don't download it!, October 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Resumemaker Deluxe 9.0 (Old Version) (CD-ROM)

This software is horrible! do not order, or download it. I work in a IT dept. I am around PC's all day. This software is buggy, and it doesn't really do much. I could make a better resume in Microsoft Word much easier and faster, don't waste your time.
