WinWay Resume Review

Winway Resume Review:

Winway Resume  provides most of the standard features of a piece of resume-writing software for a fairly reasonable price, although some of the software higher on our list in the resume-writing software category offer better value for money. However, it contains all you need to produce an effective resume and the necessary extras, and will set you firmly on the road to finding a job. As it is often hardest to actually make a start when writing, they provide you with templates specific to job-types, all written by professionals, to give you a head-start on the best style for your sector. If you lack experience with writing, there is a vast range of phrases to use, which are both formal and endeavor to enhance your skills and good qualities in the most attractive way.

Winway Resume, just as several of the pieces of software that we have reviewed, gives the user a choice between chronological, functional or mixed resume formats; if you want a normal resume where positions are listed in date order it is best to chose chronological. However, if you are less experienced and wish to disguise this somewhat, a functional resume is preferable as it lists skills and then the ways in which you have demonstrated them in previous situations. This is also a good way of directly emphasizing all the qualities that you can bring to the job in question. A mixed resume, of course, is a combination of the two. Winway Resume provides templates on all three.

We were impressed by the attention that Winway Resume pays to the appearance of your resume; with a large selection of graphics for decoration, and hundreds of possible themes, all customizable to create your unique style, you are sure to end up with a resume that is more attractive than many of your competitors, and hopefully therefore will catch the eye of a prospective employer! A particularly nice detail that isn't often seen elsewhere is the option of printing off your own customized envelopes for an extra bit of attention-grabbing.

The inclusion of interview practice questions definitely boosts this software in our favor, as interviews can be very nerve-wracking, and any way of reducing this and helping you seem more confident is advantageous, as the relaxed interviewee is more likely to make a better impression! There are also tutorials on answering tricky questions on salary such as how much you'd be prepared to work for, so that you can negotiate well without losing the interest of the employer.

As with most other pieces of software, advice on writing high-quality cover letters is included, as well as the option to save your portfolio both as a Microsoft Word and a pdf document. A job-searching facility is provided to save you trawling through countless recruitment websites, and Winway Resume will help you to post your resume online if required. There is also a helpful 90-day guarantee, so that if you find it incompatible with what you actually wanted you can return the software at no extra cost.

Winway Resume is not a bad choice if you are looking to create a portfolio and prepare for interviews, but we would recommend first looking at some of the cheaper alternatives higher on our list, as they often contain just as many excellent features for a far lower cost.
