Winway Resume Deluxe 10.0

My company has been laying people off every month so I decided it was time to update my resume. I just got Winway Resume Deluxe 10.0 and I must say it really helped me put together a beautiful looking resume. It helped me to write my resume quickly and more professionally than I EVER could have done on my own. And the Resume Auditor feature worked like a charm! Its kind of like a spell checker for your resume and it found some big problems woth my resume that otherwise would have just gone unnoticed (by at least me but maybe not my prospective employer). When I read reviews here on Amazon, it seems like Winway is the only software with a resume checker. If your company is laying people off like mine, this is a great insurance policy.

I have been using this software now for about 3 months and I have found it to be very difficult to use. It is set up such that you just push a button and out pops a resume. Well, that sounds good on the surface however when you what to edit you must go through a very convoluted procedure to do so. If you have used word for doing documents, this is not word. It dictates to you how your resume will look and getting everything lined up the way you want seems just to hard to do. Yes, it has all those bells lights and whistles and that is the problem. They have taken over too much control of the formatting, fonts, layout... I ended up using Microsoft Word® to write my resume. This is not a plug for Microsoft; I use them because they have a monopoly on much of the software in use. I wish you could try before you buy but they do not allow that. You would see very quickly how hard it is to use. Unfortunately, I cannot import my resume in .doc form Word to Winway. They do not allow that so I tried to fit my resume into their format. After about two hours of playing around, I stopped to write this review. I do not think I will be able to do it but I have not quite given up yet but I only have my heading in and that is after two hours of playing around with it. If you can get your hands on a copy, please try it first, and then if you disagree with me, buy it.

Perfect.

Its a huge collection of Ready made Resumes. The newer version is better but I never felt necessary to upgrade. The only reason I purchased it as it was free after rebate. Overall nice Resume software.

Didnt realize it was an older version. Other than that everything was there and working, so I was able to do what I needed.

WinWay Resume is simply outstanding. This program definitely does the trick. Its easy to use, extremely straightforward, and had a pre-made resume (Im a cost accountant) that I was able to adapt to properly show my experience. And it has a Resume Auditor which is incredibly cool. It found all kinds of mistakes in my resume - and Im sure glad it did. Not just typos, but things like date gaps between jobs. The tutorials were really helpful, too. It teaches you how to negotiate a better salary and how to present yourself during an interview, which turned out to be a good thing for me since its been 12 years since I had to interview. Anyways, I recommend it wholeheartedly!

This is a ridiculously easy-to-use piece of software with top-class results. Resumes are highly customizable, there are lots of formats built into the program, and the helper tools (resume auditor, auto-create etc) are, well, helpful. What I love about this tool is that the user doesnt need to do any formatting of the document. Just double-click on fields, type your details, and youre done. Would recommend it in a heartbeat.

While surfing the web for software that might provide a small edge over the generic word processing programs, I stumbled across Winway Resume Deluxe. It took a total of 2.5 weeks for me to gain employment because of this wonderful product! Producing a professional resume was definably not the only feature it has. It covers how to dress accordingly, speaking in a professional tone and manner, how to hold your body as well as how to properly maintain eye contact with out being overwhelming, It even points you in the proper direction when asking a potential employer questions. I honestly believe if it was not for this software, I would not be where I am today.
