    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.

    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!

    This is probably the buggiest piece of software I’ve ever used. It has taken me about 2 to 3 times longer to get a resume I can actually use than it would have taken if I bought a decent book and typed it by hand in a word processor. There are plenty of suggested phrases and some of them are pretty good, but it looks like they just gleaned them all from existing resumes (they have an online posting service) rather than actually wrote them specifically (some have spelling and punctuation mistakes, and some are just awful).
    The bugs in this program are unforgivable though:
    – Some fields in the “wizard” don’t transfer through to the actual resume. You end up with placholder text like, “[Enter your description of responsibilities.]”
    – If you change the section style (for example try a different layout for the jobs in your experience section), you will lose everything you type into the old layout!!!! The pre-fab phrases will transfer to a “scratch pad” so you can cut and paste, but any custom edits to those phrases get tossed (changing back will wipe out your scratch pad entries, so you lose everything)
    I used to work in the software industry (hence the need for such a program), and the number of tech resumes and phrases is appalling sparse, especially given the current job market. At any place I’ve worked, if we released a product to the public with bugs like these, we’d be fired on the spot.
    Once again, I’m learning there are no shortcuts in life worth taking. Since I downloaded it, I doubt I can get my $40 back. You, on the other hand have a chance not to waste yours. If you do decide to buy it, you should eliminate applying for any accounting or finance positions ;-).
