Feature Set:  

Resume Maker Professional mirrors Resume Maker Professional Ultimate with the exception of the free typing program. Resume Maker Professional includes the same contact manager tools, expert advice, video interview practice tools and job search engine links.

With Resume Maker Professional you can import resumes into the program or export in an email or to a webpage. However, you can't save your resume in PDF format as you can in the Career edition.

Ease of Use/Installation:  

Installation of Resume Maker Professional went smoothly, without errors or problems. This program is nearly identical in style and function to Resume Maker Professional Ultimate.

Some users may feel the opening screen on Resume Maker Professional is easier to use than that of the Resume Maker Professional Ultimate. This product's top-navigation design allows quick access to sets of features (see screenshot 1) and was the only organizational difference we found between the Professional and the Career Editions.

Edit/Organization Tools:  

Resume Maker Professional includes the same editing and formatting tools that Resume Maker Professional Ultimate contains, including a thesaurus so you can find synonyms in a pinch.

You can easily make chronological resumes and functional resumes. You may also customize your resume to match the job level that you are applying for (i.e. entry level, graduate, professional, etc.). And to get just the right look, Resume Maker offers 155 resume fonts.

One editing feature that we felt was missing from Resume Maker was the ability to automatically shrink your resume to fit on a single page.

Customer Service:  

The email we sent to Individual Software was answered quickly. Individual Software answered our questions and shipped our product fast.

Summary:  

Resume Maker Professional is a good resume writing tool with a wide variety of resources to help you build an impressive, one-of-a-kind resume. And priced well below Resume Maker Professional Ultimate.
