This is a cool product. Smooth and easy to use. Using it feels like a Wordpress pagebuilder actually. I think it will be cool to be able to embed my visual CV into my "About" page on my personal website. Thanks for the good work! :)
Thanks!
what new features was added or was it just a rebuild/redesign?
the basic editor, page breaks, history rollback, and feedback are all new features.
those are super helpful features! With the history rollback, it seems to save the Resume after every time I click out of the editable fields or add new fields, so is it saving all of those revisions and is there like a max number of revisions going into the rollback? It seems like it could become quite a large history with how often things save. I got an email about a "quiet" launch of mobile apps, were those built with React-native? I'm curious if the rebuild on React was prompted by not only the benefit of speed but getting mobile apps too.
i'll have to ask my engineers how often we're saving! I think we batch them. The mobile apps will be react + phonegap/cordova.
do you have any stats on how having a visual resume gives you a better chance of getting hired than a normal one? I've seen stats like that on other resume sites like Kickresume, but wasn't sure how these were quantified or if it was just for marketing purposes
it depends on the context. We're not necessarily a "visual resume" tool - you can create a normal resume for a traditional application or something more creative. I do know the combination of traditional resume + really nice web resume is very effective. Anecdotally, we know that a TON of our users are very successful with our product - we are planning some studies to back up that data.
Long time user! You guys have a great product.
thanks!
I am not comfortable signing up for something that I cannot see what are the price options and features. If that information is there, it is not easy to find. Not something I will be recommending at this point.
thanks for the feedback Joan, I agree we need more detail there.

So many gorgeous templates, some that turned my idea of what a resume could be on its head. Easily filled all the little details from my LinkedIn page, so all that was left was to conjure up those eloquent humble-brags that are the difference between getting hired and pounding the pavement.

Pros:

Stunning visuals, web hosting with ability to connect to your domain name, allows for several version so you can tailor for several markets

Cons:

No spell checker, but my browser took care of that
