Juan Morales was so helpful. Great service on LiveChat. Thank you. Would recommend this service to anyone. All my questions were answered immediately and the service was stellar.
They charged me when they should not have and refused to return my money. This is a terrible business and its not even in San Francisco as they say. It's in Puerto Rico.

Hi Anthony,
We are excited that you were pleased with our website and our service, our agents strive to provide a top-notch service every time. Thanks for your feedback, it's very important for us.
Live career is a total scam! DO NOT USE! These immoral people charge you for services on a monthly basis for doing absolutely nothing for you. If you do a resume and pay a few dollars to print it like me they continue to charge your credit card $39.80 a month to use their resume service. I am not sure anyone would sign up for a monthly charge for a * resume service! They hide recurring charges in the fine print. Immoral scammers. I got scammed for 18 months from these *. They should be charged with credit card fraud! Where is the investigation?

My customer Service Representative Esmeralda, is very professional and helped me with every detail to choose perfect plan to subscribe

My customer service representative, Dan, was a good listener. He was able to provide me with good options when I was thinking about ending my subscription. This company clearly values customer feedback and shows great flexibility in order to maintain the customer relationship.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Dan, we’ll be sure to pass along your positive feedback. If there’s anything else we can assist you with, don’t hesitate to ask!
I opened a chat to speak to someone about my account being reactivated that morning, and system was still telling me that I needed to upgrade. After explaining to rep that I had just reactivated that morning, and my BANK ACCOUNT SHOWS THE TRANSACTION, but was still not able access full features, she gave me a blanket answer saying that my account was cancelled due to insufficient funds in October of 2015 (As if I hadn't explained my situation:@!) The reason for cancellation was due to the card on file being cut off due to it being stolen, therefore any recurring charges could not ensue. For her to say insufficient funds was completely out of line, and offensive. She did not appropriately address my issue, and I'm completely dissatisfied with the service as a whole. I let her know that I would be calling to speak with someone who could more appropriately address my concerns. Her name is Katherine Vidal... Shame Katherine... Shame.

All I wanted to do was cancel my subscription so the lady said to give her moment to process the cancellation. Then she says how about if I lower it from 19 to 14/month and i said no I just want to cancel so again she says ok give me a moment to process your cancellation then comes back again and says how about 3/month. 15 minutes later it's finally cancelled. I mean what part of I JUST WANT TO CANCEL do they not understand.

Customer service rep Jose was the best! So patient and took the time out and walked me through the correction process of filling in my gaps on my resume.
Hi Tameka,
Thank you so much for this review. We are glad that you were pleased with our Customer Service team and how Jose was able to clarify your doubts. We are committed to providing great customer service. Thanks for the feedback, it's very important for us.
I was very pleased with the website. It's was super helpful and easy. The one thing that needs to be made clear from the start is that you'll be charged a fee. I finished my resume and tried to save, downloaded and print and couldn't do any of it unless I made a purchase. Now the purchase was very fair but it would've nice to know after spending all that time putting it together. Overall it served it purpose. I would recommend it and definitely come back
Hi Dorothy,
Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
Disappointed & Frustrated. Altough I was happy with the cv I was able to create, I was firstly frustrated that you put all the hard work in making the cv and then at the last minute it tells you that you cant actually use this cv unless you pay a charge. I payed the charge to be able to access my cv but now that I no longer need to use the website all I want to do is cancel my subscription but have had no help in doing this so far. I have tried to contact someone several times to get help to cancel my subscription but have had no success or help so far. I have also tried to cancel my subscription on the website as there is a section that says "cancel subscription", however the many times that I have tried to click this & cancel my subscription, it doesn't actually give you the option or allow you to cancel. I believe this website is nothing but a scam and I will continue to believe so until proven wrong. I am very disappointed & frustrated and am still waiting to get help to cancel my subscription.
Hi Mary Jayne,
We are very sorry that you have had this experience with our service. In order for us to better assist you and look into this situation, we would need to request some information regarding your account with us. Is it possible to continue servicing your account by direct message?
I needed to cancel my subscription, and the agent helping me was efficient in helping me with this. I was glad I could chat online with someone about this instead of calling. It was cancelled in about 5 minutes. To keep me as a customer, I was told I could be paying $5/month, rather than $20, which was frustrating that I had been overpaying for so long! But I get it, its a business. Anyway, the site served its purpose for me, and I was happy with it, and the customer service!

Used this site after looking over a number of similar offerings; very pleased with the product and particularly the level of support & customer service, which is not always the case with web based operations. If you are looking for an easy to use CV & covering letter creation service give this one a try...
