Had an account set up and can no longer access it since they were brought out. When trying to get to the EarnBetter Resume platform, the EarnIn wage management platform (parent company) continuously diverts you to set up an EarnIn account and proceeds to ask for banking account information. They will not let you sign up or sign in without using a phone number first. The phone number I had is no longer my number, so without being able to use an email address, I cannot access my established account. In addition, there are no live agents, not even a CSR Bot, nor a phone number to contact EarnIn. You have to fill out a form, wait, and hope someone responds via email, oxmoronic. Archaic communication methods in the age of AI technology, which speaks volumes about the caliber of the company (EarnIn). This platform was better before being taken over by a financial company.

My sister told me about this company and I appreciate the assistance with my resume and cover letters making them ATS accepted. My only complaint is I’m not sure if the jobs are legitimate and many times they are no longer available.

I used the app to create a resume and cover letter. It was advertised as free, but I was charged a fee of $2.90 to download the resume. I didn’t mind paying this amount because I thought I was getting an updated resume. However, I later discovered that I was being charged $29.55 for every new resume I created. They have not refunded me or responded to my emails, and they continue to charge my card. As a result, I had to contact my bank for assistance. DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS FREE

This product does not meet expectations and is not functional.
I had been using this product for over the last couple of months, and I found that it creates a resume that doesn't help your job search. Initially, I was hopeful about this tool, believing it could streamline the daunting task of crafting a professional resume easily and effectively. After all, in today's competitive job market, having a well-crafted resume is crucial for standing out among a sea of applicants. However, as the weeks passed and I continued to utilize the software, my optimism quickly started to fade.
At first, the interface seemed user-friendly, and I appreciated the plethora of templates available. They varied from modern and creative designs to more traditional layouts, which I thought would cater to different industries and personal styles. I invested significant time customizing my resume, diligently inputting my experiences, skills, and educational background. The tool even suggested various phrases to enhance my qualifications and contributions at previous jobs, which initially felt reassuring.
However, as I began sharing my resume with potential employers, I quickly realized that the positive feedback I had hoped for was not forthcoming. The feedback I received leaned towards disappointment, with recruiters pointing out that the format appeared generic and lacked the tailored qualities that many employers now seek. To my dismay, the automated nature of the product seemed to result in a one-size-fits-all approach that severely limited my ability to stand out as a candidate.
Moreover, I learned that effective resumes often require a degree of personalization that this tool simply could not provide. Each job opportunity typically demands a unique touch; highlighting specific experiences that directly correspond to the job description is essential in grabbing a recruiter’s attention. Unfortunately, the proprietary product did not offer adequate guidance in this area. Instead, it encouraged me to stick to a standard set of bullet points and accomplishments, leaving little room for the specific nuances of my career journey.
In addition to the issues regarding personalization, I encountered several formatting glitches that arose once I exported my resume. After investing so much energy in the creation process, it was disheartening to see my hard work marred by discrepancies that rendered the document unprofessional. From misaligned text to missing important information, these errors conveyed a lack of attention to detail that would likely be off-putting to hiring managers.
Furthermore, I began to question the value of the automated keywords suggested by the application. While the inclusion of industry-specific terms is critical for getting past Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) used by many companies, I started to wonder if these keywords were truly an accurate reflection of my skills. Using buzzwords simply for the sake of compatibility with ATS felt disingenuous, and I realized that I needed to ensure everything on my resume was authentic and representative of my true capabilities.
As my frustration grew, I sought advice from friends and mentors, many of whom had successfully navigated the job market without the aid of such products. They encouraged me to take a step back and reconsider my strategy. Their insights highlighted the significance of understanding what employers are truly looking for: authenticity, passion, and a genuine connection to the role at hand. This required hours of research into specific companies and roles, along with an effort to articulate my unique value proposition, rather than relying solely on a tool designed to simplify my efforts.
In conclusion, after several months of using this resume builder, I reached a pivotal point in my job search journey. I realized that while the product may have offered convenience in theory, it ultimately lacked the depth and flexibility needed to make my resume truly effective. I decided to take matters into my own hands by researching best practices in resume writing, leveraging the insights of experienced professionals, and, most importantly, focusing on crafting a document that honestly reflects who I am as a candidate. This experience taught me an invaluable lesson: while technology can assist in many ways, there is no substitute for the human touch, particularly when it comes to something as important as presenting oneself to prospective employers. So, I bid farewell to the product and began creating a personalized resume that truly encapsulated my career and aspirations.
