Review: I have both Winway and Resume Maker Deluxe 10 (by Individual Software Co.) I have some comments for Winway and a comparison between the two programs:1. Winway does not have a wizard that guides every step of writing and creating a proper resume and cover letter. All it does is only giving you a some headlines and titles and ask you to fill your qualitfications and experiences. It does not guide you. It is only "fill in the blanks" template. 2. Although this software claims that it has 100,000 phrases for you to choose, most phrases and sentences does not stand out. For example, it gives you a sentence like "position as a <position title> which utilize my <your skills>". <position title> and <your skills> are blank and you have to fill them yourself. It does not suggest how you can present your skills. Only few examples to choose from. 3. If you are an excellent writer and have excellent work experience, then this software can help you make your resumes more good looking and neat and tidy. But this software does little on improving the content of your resumes and letters. It seems assuming that you already know how to write and present. 4. If you are recent graduate who does not know the art of writing a resume and letter, then this software is not for you. The only thing a graudate would benefit from this software is the interview video. It does a good job giving "model answers" on stressful, unlawful and general interview questions. And the video and sound quality is much better than Individual Software's Resume Maker Deluxe 10. 5 Comparison between Winway and Resume Maker Deluxe 10:
A. Winway is for sophisticated people who only need a program for the appearence for their resume. Resume Maker Deluxe 10 is for people who don't really know the format and art of writing a resume. The phrases in Resume Maker Deluxe 10 is far more powerful, convincing, persuasive, impressive and representative. The sample resumes and letters in Resume Maker Deluxe 10 also impress more. B. As for appearence, Resume Maker Deluxe 10 only has about 30 resume appearence layouts (themes) while Winway has about 50. However Resume Maker Deluxe 10 tells you when to use which format and layout and has step by step wizards tailoring your needs. If you are college graduate, Resume Maker Deluxe 10 definitely does a better job for you than Winway does. C. Stability of the software: RMD10 does automatically close itself sometimes and your unsaved data may lose. In conclusion, Winway is for professional job seekers while Resume Maker Deluxe 10 is for people who are totally unsure of how to present and sell their qualifications and strengths in their resumes.

Summary: Not worth it
Review: I have to say I'm disappointed with what this program can do. I read reviews that the 6.0 version had bugs but thought maybe this 9.0 version had them fixed. A huge problem is that the screen you use to create your resume is different that what actually prints. You have to check the print preview screen every time you make a change to see how it will print. Also you only have a set number of ways you can arrange information in each section. The program won't let you modify these preset arrangements. Next, during it's internet job searches, it gets stuck and shuts down. There are other small problems that come up with formating. On the other hand, it's "autowriter" which gives sample phrases for particular jobs is quite extensive. It also gives a variety of "themes" to display your resume, but don't forget to save what you've done before applying the theme; it will erase all formatting you did and you'll have to start all over. Over priced for the limitations it has. If it were only $20 then it would be worth it but not at $30 ($40 with $10 rebate). Save your money and buy a cheaper program.

Review: I need to change the shipping option to 2-Day on this purchase. If I can not change the shipping option, then please assist me with cancelling it and reordering it with rush shipping. It was extremely difficult to cancel the order online. Thank you

Review: I was surprised at the list of unusual job titles to work from, but I couldn't find anything for a plain old 'marketing manager.' If you are proficient in any word processing program, you don't need this, it is just extra work.

Review: Poor, just a version of Word with some examples to fill in. Gives you start lines and that's all. Has examples of resumes that are very average at best. You get what you pay for, pretty poor.

Review: This package is an excellent resource to help individuals who are stumped by the job search process and placing individual skills and qualifications on paper. The program does it all for you. Of course, if you're one of those selective individual who is looking for personal style, this is not your program. I work with many job seekers who want a quick resume for the regular workforce. People seem to enjoy and relish the product when all you have to do is press enter and the entire personal data is placed into a chronological and targeted format. I would highly recommend this program for anyone wanting a quick fix to marketing their skills. No one should pay hard earned dollars to have someone else prepare a resume. If you can type, this is it!

Review: This program did not come close to matching its performance promises. It is basically a glorified word processing program with a few templates. It isn't anything you could not do on your own. Don't waste the $40.00.
