Overall good.
Didn't know from the beginning that completing the resume would cost $
It worked well and I was not unhappy to pay the small $2 fee for a one page
Resume and 5 minutes of help with a template.
Would have preferred to know the terms up front.
We’ve taken note of your feedback and it’s much appreciated, Don. We’re constantly looking for ways to provide the best experience for our customers and comments like yours help us do just that.
If your having issues online finding the right site to make your resume LOOK NO MORE!
I was getting so fed up with creating resumes than when you went back to change something the site would freeze, or you would lose your hard work... this site is so worth the 1.97 that's it... can you imagine if your not worth that much to get the job you always wanted?
I'd rate this site higher than the 5 stars... it was so easy so professional looking and they cancelled my membership on request when I didn't need it any more!
THE BEST RESUME SITE. BY FAR!

It was good experience. Easy to use and customer service with live chat was great. The only problem i had was calling customer service and it just repeated the menue no matter what i entered
I was not overly impressed with the LiveCareer product. I signed up in order to quickly have a nicer template that what I was producing for my resume. I had no intention of continuing on with the product service, but forgot to cancel my subscription and was charged the additional fee that I new was part of the package I signed up for. I also didn't like the fact that I couldn't save the template to computer in a manner that would allow me to later make updates or changes to the resume. I should have asked for a full refund, but I did not because I was satisfied with the resume I created and printed out off of the website. I just wasn't satisfied with not being able to save an editable/updatable copy of the resume to my computer. Basically, the software didn't work the way I wanted/expected it too. Overall the product I received was good, I just expected more out of the service when I signed up.

Site is very good with all the drop down sentences and key words.
I had problems editing the resume in WORD when you add a line or more bullets the line graphics that break up the different sections does not move down with the added line so in screws up the layout of the document. I had to go back into the site to do the editing.

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
