Pongo Resume

What Services Does the Company Offer?

Pongo offers a Resume Builder and Cover Letter Builder with simple instructions for creating high-quality career documents online. You can store unlimited versions and print, download, e-mail, fax, and track them right from the site. Pongo’s support team of certified resume writers offers one-on-one live help. The Interview Tips training program teaches key skills, the Job Search Tool finds job postings that match your profile, and the Pongo Blog and newsletters build your job search expertise. A free trial version of the subscription-based service lets you test drive the tools before you commit.

What Makes the Resume Building Site Unique?

Anyone can create a resume building site, but Pongo Resume backs it up with a friendly support team and tools for managing the entire job search process.

Pongo’s one-on-one customer support is the best in the business. Every member of the team is a certified professional resume writer who can provide expert advice and guidance via chat, e-mail, phone. You can also post a question on the Pongo Resume Facebook page or the Ask_Pongo page on Twitter.

The Pongo Resume site includes articles and a job search blog that explain the basics and the dos, don’ts, best practices, and latest trends in resumes, cover letters, interviewing, and workplace issues.

The resume builder also includes a Tracker tool that stores the dates, contact information, and exact version of each resume and cover letter you send out, plus a Task Manager to set follow-up reminders.

Everything is privately and securely stored on the web, so you can access your Pongo account any time, from any computer.

After you get hired, even if you’ve cancelled your account, you can re-subscribe at any time. All your documents and data will still be there (a much safer storage method than leaving your resume on a computer or portable storage device).

Tips and Tricks

  • Use the “Headings” button in the resume builder to change the names of the sections in your resume or put them in a different order.
  • Use the “Layouts” button to change the look and feel of your resume. There are more than 30 style combinations to choose from.
  • Use the “Fonts” or “Margins” button if you want to change the (you guessed it…) fonts or margins in your resume.
  • The “Print” button only appears after you click “Print Preview” -- that gives you a chance to double-check exactly what your printed document will look like before you use a piece of paper.
