Editor's Verdict:

Quickstart Resume Writer is a perfectly adequate piece of resume-writing software in that it contains sufficient information and assistance for the user to easily and quickly write a satisfactory resume that includes all the necessary information. However, it doesn't endeavor to add much sparkle or interest to a resume, nor has it the extra features or details that so impressed us in some of its competitors, such as a broad range of samples or interview advice. There is a limited range of resume styles, all customizable though a little dull, and the consumer can select between chronological and functional resumes - that is to say, between resumes that simply charter your employment history and those that focus more on your skills and how you apply them.

We were more favorably impressed by the tools available in Quickstart Resume Writer for organization of contacts, things to do, appointments etc. Managing your affairs can easily get complicated and forgetting an appointment can destroy an amazing opportunity. Using the software, you can keep all your information ordered so that it is always to hand when needed, and to prevent you forgetting anything. It can also ensure that you complete tasks in order of their priorities, to guard against missed deadlines.

Quickstart Resume Writer is at the lower end of the price range for resume-writing software, but has remarkably few features to the extent that we found it difficult to find much to write about! Certainly you can create a professional resume with relative ease, but there are few cover letter facilities and no interview help, hence missing out two important aspects of job applications. When other software include both of these and cover resume-writing in far more detail, we feel that there is little point in purchasing this software above any others. It does, however, have some good qualities, particularly the organizational features, and it comes with a 30-day guarantee so that the purchase is not irreversible.
