Resume Worded

Hey P. Smith! I hope you're well. Thanks for the detailed feedback - I want to address a few things here. First, on the cancellation confusion - our subscription cancellation is completely self-service through your dashboard and takes literally seconds. It's instant. If you thought you cancelled but didn't, I'm genuinely sorry for the confusion. We've designed it to be straightforward, but if there was something unclear in the process, we'd love to know so we can improve it. You can also reach out to [email protected] anytime and we'll cancel it for you immediately. On the "what's being updated every month" question - I get where you're coming from, but there's actually quite a bit going on behind the scenes. Our AI models are constantly being updated and improved by our data science team. We're not just sitting on a static algorithm from 2019 - we're iterating based on what's actually working in the job market, what hiring managers tell us, and how ATS systems evolve. Running AI at scale is genuinely expensive for us, which is why we charge for the advanced features. Our features have evolved substantially - each month we release new stuff! On the recurring subscription piece - most people's job searches last a few months, and the targeting features are genuinely where the value shines. You're typically applying to dozens of different roles, and each one needs a tailored resume. That's where Targeted Resume gets used over and over. Plus there's LinkedIn optimization, cover letter generation, and all the other tools that people use throughout their search - it's not just a one-and-done thing with your resume. On the value proposition - I think there might be some confusion about what's actually in Pro. It's not just "the same scoring system" with a paywall. You get: - Resume rewriter + AI Magic Write that can rewrite your entire resume (we're talking a TON of credits to generate hundreds of resume variations) - Targeted Resume to customize for each specific job description (this alone gets used constantly during a job search) - LinkedIn optimization tools - Premium templates (each worth $15-30 if bought separately) - Unlimited resume uploads and analyses Compare that to hiring a resume writer who charges $300+ for a single resume, and the value proposition becomes clearer. With Pro, you can generate and optimize hundreds of tailored resumes for different roles. And importantly - our free tier is intentionally generous. You can try the core features and get real value without paying anything. The subscription is for people who want the full suite of tools, unlimited access, and AI-powered rewrites throughout their job search. I hear your frustration, and I respect that the subscription model isn't for everyone. But we're not trying to trap anyone - we're trying to provide a service that's actually useful at a price point that's way more accessible than the alternatives. If you have specific feedback on how we can make the cancellation process clearer or the value proposition more obvious, I'm all ears. Email us at [email protected]. Thanks, Kim

Jannes, surviving for years is the ultimate compliment! That's exactly what we're going for - practical, implementable advice that actually fits into real life. Thanks for being a long-time reader!

stephanie, glad it resonated!

The memes are hard to get right (career advice is normally so boring), so I'm super glad you like them

Jude, thanks for the kind words!

Edwin, Ikigai is a great framework to start the year with :)

Mario, I try so hard to make the action items practical. Appreciate you noticing that :)
