Feature Set:
WinWay Resume Deluxe will help you create error-free, professional resumes. The program's features include a resume auditor that checks resumes for common errors and writing tips to help you sharpen and fine–tune your resume.
This program shows you how to create a chronological resume, a functional resume or how to incorporate a nice combination of both styles. You can also easily customize your resume to fit your specific job level—entry level, recent graduate, management level, and more.
WinWay Resume Deluxe includes a job interviewer that allows you to practice responding to common interview questions. The program also offers links to popular job search engines. We liked the Contact Manager feature—a quick index tool that kept our names, phone numbers and addresses organized and easy to access.
Ease of Use/Installation:
WinWay Resume Deluxe is easy to use. We had no problems installing and using the software.
The opening screen has a resume wizard that walks you through resume creation step-by-step (see screenshot one, below). In the resume wizard, you can also create a resume cover letter and view videos that offer pointers on presenting yourself at job interviews. WinWay even offers further videos to help you learn how to negotiate your salary and other job-related skills. You may also search for jobs, view resources, and manage your contact information.
If you opt to close the wizard, the program still offers easy access to all the program features. Clearly marked tabs are used to help you navigate to the right place in the program (see screenshot two, below).
Edit/Organization Tools:
WinWay Resume Deluxe has a toolbox chock full of editing and organization tools to help you create the perfect resume. And to further polish the look of your resume, this program offers you borders, headers, images, themes and more than 400 professional fonts to choose from.
The resume auditor performs several vital functions, including: evaluating your content, searching for missing information, searching for gaps in employment history, checking page layout for readability, and more.
The resume auditor will also tally your action verbs so you can be certain that your resume is active, not passive. In short, the resume auditor analyzes and verifies that your resume is at its best.
One of the most useful additions to the program are the Merriam-Webster dictionary and a 157,000 thesaurus, which are great for expanding vocabulary and increasing readability.
Customer Service:
We contacted WinWay and received a prompt response to all our questions. Their customer service is excellent.
Summary:
WinWay Resume Deluxe is exceptional resume writing software with all the bells and whistles you'd ever want. With this top-quality package, you'll have all the tools needed to really make your resume shine.
