Reviews of Top Resume Software


Resume Software has become very popular among the large number of job-seekers in today’s society. People are willing to spend money on software that will give them the competitive edge over their fellow job-seekers. There are many different companies that sell their own resume software. Here are our thoughts about the following resume software programs.

Pongo Resume

Pongo is one of the leading resume software programs you can buy. Users and reviewers alike have rated it 5 stars across the board, including the following categories: ease of use, navigation, turnaround time, navigation, value and technical support. Users love Pongo because of the way the software asks personal information and then creates the best resume layout in regards to the information provided. Another outstanding feature of Pongo is the database of cover letters available to users. Users are able to slightly tweak these cover letters in minutes and send them in with their resumes. Pongo offers a free trial period and a year’s subscription will cost you $59.95.

Resume Maker Professional

Resume Make Professional is another resume software program that gets great reviews by its users. One of the most valuable features that this program offers is the ability for more than one person (user) to use the same program. This means that the whole household can use it for the same price as one user. This software also gives users the ability to upload their finished resume to the internet and publish it as its own website. This comes in handy because you can direct potential employers to your “website”. Professionally formatted e-mails are also made possible by Resume Maker Professional, which are sure to impress any future employer. This software costs $29.95 and an additional $19.95 for the upgrade.

Resume Works Pro

Resume Works Pro is another decent resume building program. It lacks some of the specialized features that the programs mentioned above come with. Nonetheless, Resume Works Pro is equipped with over 1000 sample cover letters and resumes to help its users. It has a feature that allows users to burn their resume along with their portfolio to a CD/DVD. There is also a database of pre-formatted response letters that can be used when contacting a potential employer. Taking all of these features into consideration, the Resume Works Pro is a useful program that only costs $19.95.

Resume Power (Resumepower.com)

This resume software is different from all the others because it allows users to collaborate with resume experts. In other words, someone takes the information that has been entered into the software are creates a unique resume and/or cover letter for you. The software gives users access to all the features of the other software programs, plus more. They can form resumes for different uses (i.e. networking, etc.) and create a blog with your resume. Resume Power guarantees you will be satisfied with your package and will revise it if you are not. With all this, it is no surprise that Resume Power software comes with a very large price tag. Their packages are all customized but the most basic package starts out around $279.

Follow up is everything in today's competitive job market. So many applicants do a great job upfront presenting their personal brand, but completely strike out when it comes to sending a thank you. Very few employers are sold after the first pitch–the bulk of hiring happens with a strong follow up. Something as simple as this can make a huge impact in a hiring manager's decision.
Great post!
