Tried a couple of different sites that offer a similar service. Chose LiveCareer because they have more templates, better customer service and offer a variety of other services that help with finding a job.
Did not appreciate the, "free trial" that automatically charged my account... that's it.

I didn't see the small print. Lost at least 500 to 600 bucks being charged on my child support card. Child support does not send statements. Not happy but take some of the blame. Lesson learned. Wish the company would have emailed me to ask if I wanted to comtinu with the service as I wasn't using it. But THIS IS HOW THEY MAKE THIER BIGGEST MONEY I'm guessing! Not happy at all.

Site was easy to find and use. Needed an updated resume and had it done in an hour. Disappointed only due to being charged extra month after trying to cancel account as did not need to access the Site anymore. $19.99 is a lot monthly after making the resume and no longer needing the service.

Answer: This is what the site advertised: For 14 day access, $14.95, and for a year $39.80. However, signing up for ANY service aloows the site to store your payment information for further billing, and getting in touch with them, much less obtaining help is nigh impossible. After two weeks they will pull $39.80 MONTHLY from your payment method (please see my review and others on Google and yelp for further verification of this).
Answer: Do not use this site!
Answer: I had to cancel my Debit Card account with Bank of America, because the Bank refused to block LiveCareer from my account. I wonder if they are in cahoots or what? I believe a class action suit may be required so we can get our funds back.
Answer: Call your bank and change your card number Call them and let them know you have contacted your bank and will contact the better business bureau of you don't get a full refund. Then contact the better bBB and file a formal complaint. You will have a refund within a week. That's how I got my money back
Answer: Dont waste your time trying to contact them. I went to my bank and had all future billing refused AND I went to the State Attorney General and reported them.
Answer: Hello, Sarah - Thank you for getting in touch with us, our subscriptions are auto-renewing, we have a continuous billing feature that charges your account after the 14-day period and every month for the regular price afterward. However, if you are only interested in the 14-trial and wish to avoid any recurring charges simply cancel your subscription before beforehand. We hope that this helps clear things up for you, if you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know. Best regards, LiveCareer US
