Is an Online Resume Builder Right for You?
Posted on August 12, 2009 | Filed Under Other 2 Comments
Online resume builders are growing in popularity every month. Many of them are free (or very reasonably priced) and easy to use. But are they worth using? In this post, I’ll take a look at one such service, called Pongo Resume.
PongoResume.com Review
With a web-based resume builder like the one you’ll find at PongoResume.com, you can make a high quality resume in about 10 minutes. All you have to do is answer a few simple questions about your occupation and desired job, and the resume builder creates a template just for you. The resume builder generates fill-in-the-blank sentences to help you find the right words to describe your experience.
Once the resume has been created, Pongo lets you change resume formats by clicking a button. There are 32 different resume styles you can choose from.
There’s really no hassle at all, or hours spent trying to get the spacing to look just right. You can save the resume in many different formats – Word, text, PDF or even a web page in html – however the employer wants it, and it will always look good.
You can even save different versions of your resume and create a new cover letter for each job you apply to, and this efficient online resume builder will keep track of which one you sent to which employer. Talk about resume targeting made easy!
In short, PongoResume.com is a quick and easy to use resume builder. You can even email and fax your resume straight from the system, but it looks like it comes from you.
The free trial (no credit card required) lets you test drive the resume builder so you can see how easy it is to build your resume and then decide if you want to buy. At $9.95, it is a small price to pay to be able to write your resume (and cover letter) in just 10 minutes!
In Summary
I definitely recommend you check out Pongo Resume if you’re looking for some help building a resume. I used to offer a resume writing service here, but I have to say, I think this is a better option for most people.
The Pros:
- Super easy to use.
- Great tips & advice for each section
- Suggested phraseology
- Flexibility
The Cons:
I wish it was free, but really at $9.95 a month, you can’t complain too much… even in today’s economy. Especially, since you can try it out for free before you have to pay a single cent.
Since the program is standardized, it’s also not quite as flexible as doing things yourself from scratch, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing if you don’t really know what you’re doing! 
Overall, I have to recommend this online resume builder. It’s truly a great way to get a quality resume built.
Create your resume now using the free online resume builder trial! I guarantee you won’t regret it.
