To be fair, it's not really $25/month, it's a single month of the service for $25 (with a discount if you want to commit up front for longer). I'm guessing that most people who use this service would pay for a month, gussy-up their resume, then stop using it. That said, I'm with you with not wanting to pay for something like this. |

- I think very few people will want to pay for 3 months of the service. I don't get continuing value from building a resume, and I will know in the very first few weeks if it's working. If after using the service I don't get companies trying to talk with me, I will be unhappy with the service.
- There's no point in continuing to pay for the service after I am hired. And my consumer spider-sense tingle every time I see "$/month", because I know somewhere on the checkout page there will be something like "cancel before 30 days otherwise we will charge". Seems shady practice for a service that has no value after I am hired. I will be thinking something like "why do they want to keep charging me if I got a job?"
Also, really, how many times do people look for jobs? They might update their resume every once in a while, but actively look? Every few years? Then why pay for something monthly?
Now, if this was a flat fee (even $25), I think more people would sign up, which might offset the "losses" of subscription (my point being there's no compelling reason to subscribe in the first place)
