Great service!
June 26, 2016

I had great service! Dude apologized profusely every time he had to put me on hold for 30 sec. Max all of two times AND he got me what I needed! Hold music could be better, like classic rock or something? Still wish it was cheaper or free and didn't have to call and could cancel online if need be but Idk, these people have aimed to please and hit their target. I hope I get a job soon...

Refund
June 23, 2016

Representative was very willing to refund my account, I was surprised that I didn't have to argue. He was polite and informed me of my mistake, I missed that I was supposed to have cancelled my account in 2 weeks. Even though it was my error, he verified that I didn't access my account more than once so he credited me back the 2 payments.

Charged without knowing
June 23, 2016

When I has first signed up to make my resume it only charged a couple of dollars and said I could have access to my resume for 14 days. I thought that was a one time fee but in turn kept getting charged $30 a month.

As someone who has always struggled doing a resume this was the best and easiest Resume Builder I have ever used! Excellent website and customer service. I only canceled my service today because I found a position, the customer service rep was very professional an extremely polite! It took a very short amount of time and absolutely painless to cancel my subscription. Thank you so much for Live Career I have a job because of your website and would not hesitate to use it again!

LiveCareer to the rescue!
June 23, 2016

I first came across LiveCareer's resume builder four years ago. After a 14 year hiatus I needed to write a resume, and found the task daunting.
LC's resume builder made it so easy to put my resume together. All the tips and examples were extremely helpful.

Professional and courteous
June 23, 2016

I wanted to cancel my account, but was dreading the call and expected a less than easy way to do that and an amount of stonewalling.
Instead I spoke to Kenneth who was very polite and quick acting, he handled my issue to my satisfaction

Such a friendly and helpful group
June 23, 2016

Since I have had to redo my resume several times and create a cover letter due to recent job changes and not having knowledge of how to create these much needed documents, I've had to request help several times from the live career staff. They helped me through many questions that should have been obvious but this was not true in my case. They talked me thru and made me feel confident. I thank them and recommend them as they are truly there to be helpful.

Great Listener
June 22, 2016

Truth is I am not happy that I have been charged $39.80 monthly and haven't utilized the service since the initial offering. So when I called I was a little upset. But David listened to me and understand my frustration and needs. He was always positive and helpful.

Noble Service-Shady Disclaimers
June 22, 2016

Marketing of FREE 14 DAY TRIAL for "LiveCareer - Cover Letter Builder" (product) was clear, concise, and effective. Resource and services it provided, were able to address user's needs (as advertised). Disclaimers to inform customers of RECURRING AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS (following trial period) was not made clear. Disclaimer information appeared to be spread-out in separate, partial statements. If communication of this was complete and visually prominent... on sign-up window... customers would be better informed of binding agreement.

This company is not concerned or sorry about stealing money from thousands of people. They will say, "We're very sorry for your experience. Please contact us directly, blah, blah, blah." When you contact them directly, it's an even further waste of your time because they will just give you the run-around and explain that "you KNEW you were signing up for a subscription." Ummm... no, I don't think most people will pay $40 a month to be able to edit a resume. This company is a scam! Buyer beware. You will think you're only being charged $1.95 to print your resume, when in reality you are signing up for a subscription. Of course, you don't find out about the $1.95 fee until you've already spent time creating your resume. The FREE, FREE, FREE that's plastered all over their website is FALSE ADVERTISING!
