OK JobFox.com is the single most reviewed job board on this site and it is the most unliked.

You have to sign up as soon as you get to the site - bad sign #1
Waaaay tooo many log in steps - bad sign #2

blah blah - I cant even get through the process and actually I am kinda afraid to even give them any information with all the bad reviews.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY - before you become one of the angry users reviewing below.

Jobfox seems shady and low-class. The only responses my resume (which is apparently, quite weak) has attracted are from third-party recruiters and employers I'd have to pay to get started with. Or suggestions that I apply for positions that were no longer available according to the once-hiring company's website. I was also given a free courtesy resume critique that I did not request and it didn't take long to realize the goal of said critique was to get me to shell out the dough to have someone at Jobfox rewrite it for me.
I regret ever associating myself with that website. There are plenty of legitimate career search websites out there. Jobfox is not one of them.

Way to start out, with a big lie.

Went through their elaborate signup procedure, including a bunch of detailed questions about my experience that had no options to accurately give a picture of my experience.

Got 40 or so job recommendations, most were not good matches, and the few that were ok matches either forwarded me to the target companies' proprietary job application sites(so I had to start from scratch inputting all my info), or forwarded me to a page on the target company's site that said the job in question was no longer available.

Then a day or so after joining JobFox, I get this email saying its a free resume critique from a person who works there. Read through it enough to tell that they ran my resume through a program which generated this fake script. Just because it's a criticism, doesn't mean its a constructive criticism. I was left with a very bad taste in my mouth after seeing this fake email from them posing as if it were a real person who had actually read through and critiqued my resume. Obviously a lie, to try to sell their pay services.

The process of entering your information is arduous and ineffective. The categories and drop-downs offer such specific information, it's difficult to accurately capture the scope of positions you've had.

Worst of all, the day after I registered I received and email ripping my resume to shreds and offering their $400 resume writing service. It was clearly a scam. They said I didn't use enough "action" words and sited a few examples. The problem is that my resume is rife with action words. They happened to find a few specific lines that did not contain them.

Stay away.
