Amazing Resume Creator: Is it Worth the Fee?

The Amazing Resume Creator review you are about to read is based on my own personal experience and opinion.

I purchased the program to create my own resume,  I wanted to see firsthand what it can and cannot do.

Later in this review, I will give you a quick walk-through the program and the process of producing your resume.

Is ARC Worth It?

The reason for this review is to determine, in my opinion, if the Amazing Resume Creator is worth the fee?

As I have mentioned in previous articles, to make sure that they do not waste precious time on unconvincing job hopefuls, recruiters review resumes and eliminate candidates by way of their resumes.

So, if you have a weak, cluttered resume, you will never get the opportunity to acquire that job interview.

And although the resume, with its purpose of promoting you as the best person for the job, and its goal of getting you the interview, is such an important document, plenty of people, especially fresh graduates, do not realize just how important it is.

They do not recognize the skill sets that they should highlight and in case they do recognize those abilities, they do not know how to sell them in an effective manner.

The purpose of a resume is to promote “You” to your prospective employer as the ideal candidate for the advertised position. It must showcase your training, experience and skills in a way where it demonstrates that you are the best person to speak with, and that’s exactly the goal of the resume, to get the employer to call you and give you an interview.

This is why applicants need to ensure that the resume they are going to submit is well-written, concise, relevant, and professional.

There are several options a job seeker can utilize to produce a winning resume, one of them is a resume builder like the Amazing Resume Creator.

So, let me take you through what I found using this resume builder.

The Amazing Resume Creator and the Company:

The Amazing Resume Creator was made by Jimmy Sweeney, a professional copywriter, direct-response marketer and CEO of CareerJimmy.

If you can sit through the initially annoying forty-five-minute presentation video, that you cannot skim through, there is information that is useful to consider when creating your resume.  So, for that alone, it is worth listening to the presentation.

I would suggest sitting down with your favorite drink and watching the presentation, take some notes, and see what you could use in creating your resume, there are many good points to be considered!

According to Jimmy, he has been writing the world’s most successful resumes and winning cover letters for 1000s of thrilled men and women across the globe for over 10 years.

He has reviewed 1000s of resumes and knows what a job getting resume looks like.

Jimmy assures to help users produce professional resumes by means of trade secrets that he has gathered through the years as a professional copywriter and are the secret ingredients that go into every resume that is created through his program.

Features

The program can assist users in their resume building.  It is simple to use, and it will make resume writing easier with a few clicks and choice input.

The basic program consists of:

• A simple to operate resume writing platform
• Easy to navigate 2 option selection, “Creating a New Resume” and “Editing an Existing Resume”

Jimmy states that in an ordinary resume with the standard categories of information such as Objective, Education, Experience, skills etc., you cannot draw yourself apart from the other applicants.  The point being made is that there will always be someone more qualified than you are, but that it does not matter, as what makes the difference is marketing and “superior marketing” at that.

The secret ingredients of writing a resume that is the world’s perfect resume:

1. Show stopper – a show stopping headline at the top
2. Hyper focusing the resume by highlighting the job title throughout
3. Social proof – adding an eye-popping social proof section, that proves you are a qualified, skilled, unique individual that must be contacted for an interview right away
4. Power words – sprinkling powerful marketing power words throughout the resume including special select action words to start off almost every sentence.
5. Secret category – creating a brand-new resume category that instantly pushes the hot hiring buttons of a hiring manager – this hit the human heart and the recruiter will see you in a new, positive light

Producing a Quality Resume – A Quick Walk-Through the Program

The program is simple to use, just point and click basically, 3 simple steps.

Simply follow the instructions shown on the screen. Choose from the options that are presented and the kind of resume you would like to produce.

Step 1 Point and click your mouse on the program icon to start it

• Select either “Create New Amazing Resume” or, “Edit Existing Amazing Resume”

You’ll be asked about experience level.  Select either:

Some/lots – I have some/lots experience in this field

The software is built to instantly interface with the Microsoft Word application on Microsoft Office which makes updates or modifications on the fly easier.

What I found using the program 

My experience with the program is that it is easy to use, however, a good quality customized resume is not automatically created after you input your basic information.

I had to input a lot of good, relevant information about myself that related to the job position I was applying for.  I had to know what information about myself I needed to promote to the prospective employer.

I think people with little experience in creating a resume and promoting themselves to employers will struggle with this program.  They will not know how to structure their resumes with the right information so that they will be well-written, concise, to the point, and professional.

Pros of ARC

• • • Easy program to operate, the system itself is simple
  • • The guarantee is good, Jimmy stands not only by his program but that it will also produce results for you
  • • Learning (Not a pro of the program itself), but, if you want to develop your skill in promoting yourself by mastering resume and cover letter writing, then this program would be fine to use as a platform to do so on
  • • The price is reasonable, particularly because you can keep the program, it’s continually updated, and you can continue to develop your resume as a working document over time
  • • Some guidance, the program along with the accompanying websites do give you examples so you can rely on these if they are relevant, or, you can use them as a guide to develop your own

 

Cons of ARC

• • • Easy program to operate but not easy to produce a great resume automatically, you know the old saying, “garbage in, garbage out”
  • • Learning (Not part of the program). I found I needed to know what to write for the resume elements such as the goals, objectives, summary and the resume money secret in order to produce a well-written, concise, and professional resume. You will need to learn how to do this in order to produce a good resume, even using the ARC

Verdict

The Amazing Resume Creator  is an average product that could become a good one depending on your own resume writing skill level. With reasonable resume writing skills, this platform could help you create a professional, well-written resume and improve your chances of getting that job interview.

As I see it, the program’s value lies in the guidance it provides in creating a basic structure for your resume. It also guides you in creating the content, but this is largely up to you and your ability in highlighting your qualities and promoting yourself in the right way for each specific job application.

I think the effectiveness of this program is over hyped in the promotional material. If your expectation is that you will enter a few basic details and with a press of a button, out will come a great resume, you are going to be disappointed. The structure and content of the resume may be there in simple format, but it is going to need a lot more work and refinement from you.

At the other end of the scale, if all you want is D.I.Y. solution with some guidance and structure for your resume, without paying fees for resume writing services, then this program would be okay. It’s not super expensive and it does cover both cover letters and resume writing.

So, the bottom line for me is this, if you are wanting to learn to write a good resume and cover letter, this program could be worthwhile to learn with and you retain control of the process.

If, however, you expect to provide some basic details about yourself and then produce a winning resume, you are going to be disappointed and I would not recommend this program.

I suggest you go through the presentation; I like it more than the program itself, and make a note of the points Jimmy makes, many of them are good. See if you can implement some of them into your resume. Then, look at what is offered by the program in terms of the benefits it provides you and judge for yourself.

I hope this review has offered you some help in determining if the ARC is for you. If you have any good or bad experiences with the ARC or other resume builders you would like to share, opinions or questions that you want feedback on, please leave us a comment below, we would love to hear it.
