Land a job within 60 days, or Resumes Guaranteed will refund the entire purchase price of your new resume -- plus an extra $100 to boot. If you're thinking, "how can I lose," think again. A guarantee is only as good as the company that stands behind it. And this particular company stands behind a shopping list of conditions that make it practically impossible to collect on such a guarantee.

What I Liked (the Pros)

What I Didn't Like (the Cons)

And finally, the guarantee. Do you believe in fairy tales? This is a pretty one. If you don't land a job within 60 days of receiving your new resume, they will refund your money, pay you $100 extra, and still re-write your resume. Two problems: 1) there's fine print, and 2) try finding the fine print.

Actually, I found the fine print after clicking on a small link at the bottom of the page, under Terms of Service. Turns out, if you want the refund, you must show proof of having sent out the resume to a minimum of 40 prospective employers. Proof? Well, that would be fax receipts or certified mail receipts. Who sends out resumes by certified mail? And if you did, at $4.95 per letter at the time of this writing, 40 certified mailings would run you $198.00 -- more than the cost of the resume you're trying to get refunded.

But there's more. At their discretion, they may ask for proof of continued unemployment -- like a copy of a recent unemployment check. And if you've been employed all along and were looking to use the resume to secure a job elsewhere, well, no refund for you.

I'm not saying this company hasn't issued refunds over the years. I believe they have. I'm just saying, you'd better have all your ducks in a row. And even then, if internet and BBB complaints are any indication, I would expect a battle.

Review Summary and Recommendation

Amateurish writing, evasive pricing, and a gimmicky guarantee that doesn't pass the smell test are three reasons I can't recommend this company.

If you want to improve the odds of landing a job sooner rather than later, my advice is to save yourself the money they're charging and apply that to a service with a higher BBB score, certified writers doing the work, and few or no complaints dogging them. Go to our home page to see our list of the most popular online professional resume writers who make the grade (hint: look for Better Business Bureau scores of A+ or A).  

All of this is my opinion; do your own due diligence. The following link is provided in case you want to verify for yourself, but I recommend avoiding...
