The completely free resume maker offers 24 templates for creating your resume.

More than 5.8 million resumes have been created on, according to its website. On Google at the time of this writing, the site has 4.5 out of 5 stars and more than 2,400 reviews, and most of the negative reviews are about the auto-renew policy. However, if you fail to cancel your trial before the 14 days are up, it will auto-renew to $40 per month. You can download the resume you create for $2 (which starts a 14-day trial), or $8 (which kicks off a monthly subscription plan). If you register on the site, Resume Genius does collect personally identifiable information and may share it with third parties for advertising and other purposes, its privacy policy says. You also have the option to directly share your resume with Indeed or Resume Library. When finished, you can easily toggle between different templates to see what looks best for the final product.

Where Resume Genius is particularly helpful is when filling in sections like 'work responsibilities.' You can search for a position and see pre-written options that you can add or edit - or just fill in your own. It's easy to move through, though you do have to do it in order and fill in all information before continuing. The website Resume Genius says you can 'create your professional resume in 15 minutes.' (I tested it out, and indeed had a solid first draft of an easy resume completed in about 10 minutes.) First, select one of 17 different template options, and then move through a series of questions (e.g., 'Do you have work experience?' and 'What's your highest level of education?'), that lead you to then fill out boxes of additional information.
