I loved it, I've never seen anything look more professional than this. It helped me out a lot and I am very proud to say that I was able to see what it had to offer. I would and will recommend it to anyone.
So awful it told me it would only be 1.95 for 14 days and i thought it was a good deal however they charged over 20 dollars from my account i keep trying to take my credit card off but they only send me emails saying a representative will contact me in a couple days so i guess i just have to keep paying while they get back to me. A total scam and waste of money!
Used Live Career to updated my resume for a job change. Easy to use and loved my final outcome. Got mixed up with dates on when I should cancel my subscription so I wouldn't be billed the following month, called Customer Service and Charlie really helped me out with NO problems. He did everything for me and was very polite. I will be a returning customer when it is time to again update my resume.

I used them to make one time CV FOR £1.95. After i have been charge $ 39.80 two months in a row tough i never subscribed for that service! After calling them to solove the problem tghey said that i didn't cancel after 14 days so it auto-renews and got into full payment. Which after checking was £14.95 and not the amount debited from my account. They couldn't even explain themselves and then they tried to confuse me more saying some lies.
I never got any confirmation email whatsoever from them that i subscribed to something which clearly i didn't. I asked them to re send the emails or the details of what i have done but they couldn't.
They big on fooling people and get them money so please bee aware and avoid this scam site!

I was in a hury so I started to write my resume. After one hour and something when I wanted to download, it wasnt FREE! Because of the time i spend i gave my card number for one download, 1.90 $. They said they bill monthly, so i tought i will cancel afterwards. They charged in 2 weeks, before I cancel. This is a scam! And google shouldnt show this for free resume template!

Hi,
2 weeks ago when spending time with a friend we discovered your website.
1. It was an easy to use website and between us my friend and I produced a wonderful CV to help her return to the job market in her late 40's after 27 years looking after her disabled sister.
2. The CV has given her confidence a tremendous boost.
Drawbacks
Lack of clarity that we would have to pay for this service. We got to printing it out and there was a request for payment details and my friend had not brought these with her so I paid it for her, planning to cancel after a few days once Paula had decided whether she wanted to make any changes.
Paula did not want to make any revisions so I intended to cancel the monthly standing order and forgot about it until today.
May increase your customer base if you send an email reminder after 10 or 12 days informing that the 2 weeks is nearly up and explaining what the benefits are on offer if the customer continues their monthly payments.
AS it happened when I rang today I was refunded the £16.99 that apparently went out of my account yesterday Aug 30th. I am very thankful and will heartily recommend your company. Thank you

Scam. I googled "free resume builder", LiveCareer came up at the top as "Free Resume Builder". Great! I thought. Spent ages inputting my information and when I was finally done, I clicked DOWNLOAD PDF. The next page I was taken to requested credit card information. I had to make a payment in order to download my "free resume template". Time wasted!
I want to be clear, I understand resume builders/templates are a big resource and paying for them is not my issue. My issue stems from the fact that I was told this was a free service and in the end it wasn't.

However you can download a plain text version of your resume for free. To be able to use all premium futures of the service we offer customer a 14 days access for $1.95 and we indicate up front that it will auto renew after the 14 days and that it can be cancel at any time. The auto renewal is listed with the features of the 14 day subscription on the sales page, as well as on the payment and confirmation pages. We also send a payment confirmation email stating the date and amount of the auto- renewal.

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
