If you’re job hunting you will probably end up using one of those ATS resume builder a lot of them look legitimate but:

1)They let you create your CV and then once you click that download button they ask you to pay like 10-20 bucks to get a pdf of your resume

2)Some of them automates you in a subscription after free trial and that can be tricky to cancel

3)If your email/sms is being spammed with promotions you didn’t sign up for, it’s them

4)their template often looks flashy but break into ATS systems

better alternatives:

1)Use google doc or microsoft word template as they are free and simple to use, canva also has good design and you can download the pdf for free.

2)Tools like Prosple and ApplyOnion focus more on application even a clean plain resume can work better for ATS

Always double-check terms of service and read reviews before entering your personal info.

Stay safe and good luck landing that job!
