I had a pretty good experience with live Career. I am so thankful for the service it provides. I had some technical difficulties that took 30 minutes to sort out with a customer service rep, and it wasn't an easy solution, but overall, I am very thankful for the help with setting up my resume and cover letter.
Very good, sales person was very polite and took care of my problem

Simply put, I was billed for something I have no idea would happen. It was some negligence on my part but Norma Angeles assured me that they would take care of the issue and in no time I was told that I am reimbursed. Had a whole speech planned and all.

I feel that it is a good system that formats your resume with many different options as well as with pointers. I think you should be up front with fact that there is an initial fee as well as a recurrent fee. Should have a 1 time short term fee like the 1.95 for someone like myself who only needed a resume in a pinch for a job i want for pleasure. I think you should have a flat fee for 3, 6, 9, 12 month stents that starts with like 14.99. I would recommend it to friends but would also recommend they cancel the recuurent fee.

Signed up for a trial of Resume Builder and used it for several resumes. Abigail at Customer Service reversed charges for service billed to credit card for cancellation immediately made online when pending charge showed up on credit card account. No wait time for service by phone and very courteous assistance throughout the call.

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
