At first we thought that Anonymous VPN just chose this name because it sounds cool and mysterious. But soon we realized that the group behind this VPN service is quite knowledgeable when it comes to privacy protection. They value their zero-log policy more than anything and they push the boundaries of secured anonymity with full-blown P2P file sharing support on all of their servers. Speaking of its network, Anonymous VPN offers connections to 20 exotic locations, including South Africa, Singapore, Australia, the U.S. and most major European cities. The company offers a downloadable client for PC, Mac and Android, but with a little legwork it can be ported to routers and iOS systems as well. Anonymous VPN isn't an expensive investment either: you can purchase a 3-day trial for $2, or subscribe for a month or a year, with the lowest monthly fee being only $5.75.

Avira is best known as one of the most popular antivirus providers, with millions of people using their service. The Germany-based company knows better than anybody else how malicious hackers can be, and that they grab any occasion to hurt innocent users. So they added a new branch to their security products, called Phantom VPN. This new service provides peace of mind for Avira users without syphoning their wallet: the product has a free-to-use version, which works in harmony with your Avira firewall. The client is a breeze to handle, and you are literally a few clicks away from connecting to one of the 19 virtual locations, including China, Mexico, Singapore, Canada and the U.S. Phantom VPN claims to be the perfect solution for streamers, as it takes care of your privacy while you are enjoying a movie.

When you learn that U.S.-based Pongo was founded back in 2004, you might be wondering: how did it manage to stay afloat for so long? Well, the answer is simple: by being true to itself and providing quality service to its many clients. With a clear pricing strategy, which includes a quite useful free version and the superb paid plans, you will be able to create professional looking resumes or different letters within minutes. The software helps you during the drafting process with tips and sample phrases, a built-in spell-checker, over 10 templates and even more sections, other customization tools and many download options. Furthermore, you can also search for jobs with the help of Indeed, and you can always turn to the free customer support for live assistance, interview tips and other useful articles, or the paid professional writing services.

Since its foundation in 2009 Resume Companion has helped over 9 million users create their resumes and finding the job of their dreams. This company also runs a non-profit organization called Resumes for America aiding U.S. college and university students in learning the basics of resume writing and a scholarship program which awards $1,000 to the student who can write the best resume for a fictional or non-fictional character of his/her own choice.

Naturally, Resume Companion also helps the regular job seekers with its resume builder services with plenty of options. If you become a subscriber of the software - in a rather nasty method - you will get access to 8 resume templates, over 40 pre-written cover letters, downloading, printing and sending your works and professional help from resume experts.

Resume Companion further assists in landing a new job with its job search engine and job alerts, countless resume and cover letter samples, writing tips, alongside advice regarding job seeking on the website and in a blog.

Super-Resume, which was founded in 2013, introduces itself as a company that wants to help you build your resumes effortlessly and find your ideal job. And with this simple resume builder this can be possible. If you become a client of this company for a cost-friendly price, you will be able to create nice looking resumes from many templates and customize them the way you wish in terms of fonts, their size, the layout of the document, and the number and arrangement of the sections. You can also search for hundreds of resume examples and even save them to your account so you can use them as a base for your own sample, but you are also able to upload your existing documents. The logical software also offers pre-written phrases and you can more or less work on your documents from mobile devices, mostly from tablets. Even though Super-Resume does not create cover letters and it has a weird pricing policy, this resume builder is more than enough if you need nothing but professional looking CVs.

Everyone should refresh their resume when looking for a new job. Luckily, resume builders can help, and LiveCareer is considered a veteran among them. Having been around since 2004, the company has had plenty of time to become a leading resume builder. With its easy-to-use dashboard that evaluates the strength of your curriculum, building a resume is a walk in the park. LiveCareer also provides more templates than you'll ever need, letting you choose from a more classic format to quirkier styles. Cover letters have also never been easier with LiveCareer's editor, which almost writes the entire document for you. To top it all off, all these features come at an affordable rate and with a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Canada-based VisualCV, which was founded back in 2007, is another proof that older sites are not by all means bad. Quite the contrary: the Force is still strong with this online resume builder and we have a dozen reasons why we think this way. If you become a subscriber of this company, you can get access to software that has a fantastic visitors' chart, many templates and other design elements and an interface that is a pleasure to use. As a special surprise from VisualCV, you are able to access your account from any mobile device without limitations and you can use its services without paying a single dime. However, you can unblock the true powers of this software like unlimited resumes and downloading to Google Docs by choosing two of the available subscriptions. And if we mention the exceptional extra support, the possibility of including media files in your CVs, the many sharing options, we wouldn't be surprised if you might be thinking: why am I not subscribed to VisualCV yet...

Resumonk, founded in 2012 in India, provides its mobile browser-friendly resume builder services for free or for a subscription fee.
