Thought I was paying for a one time access to a resume format, ended up paying a bunch more on a monthly base for nothing. Didn't realize I was getting charged until my bank put a hold on my credit card for suspicious activity because of LiveCareer's monthly charge.
However Rafael Santana, my awesome customer service guy was super nice and helpful and able to get me a refund on the last 5 month of charges which were almost $200, and cancel my subscription thing. Thank So MUCH Rafael!

The process of writing the resume was very good, when I received my statement for the purchase of the trial period and saw that the monthly chanrge for the resume service was going to be 34.95 per montht thereafter I decided to cancel my subscription. Thank you for the quick cancellation of the subscription.

The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 is because unless you keep your subscription, you cannot edit your resume at all.

Resume/Cover Letter
June 22, 2016

I used a template to create a resume and it looked good when I reviewed it online; however, when I downloaded it, the formatting was problematic. I call Customer Service and spoke to Alexis who helped me with all of my concerns. He was kind, patient, very knowledgeable about the product, and provided excellent customer service.

Very helpful
June 22, 2016

I found myself looking for a job after funding was cut and circumstances all pointed to "leave now". I had been in my role for 15 1/2 years and hadn't put a resume together for quite some time. LiveCareer was a very helpful resource and gave me confidence I could walk through what I needed to do. When it was time to cancel the service, I was surprised at how genuinely cheerful they were to work through my request.

Trustworthy
June 22, 2016

My grandchildren accessed Live Career Services to put design resumes. The forgot to tell me about the trial service agreement and my credit card was charged a full month's fee. Fortunately, I spoke with a customer service representative named Nomar, who besides very friendly and absolute pleasure to talk with, took care of the situation for me without hassles and arranged for a full refund of the fee. I was not treated like this is a "gotcha" situation. Their customer service employee represented the company with the upmost integrity and respect. A job well done! I certainly encourage others to give Live Career Services a try. They are reputable and stand by their customer satisfaction.

Not that Happy
June 21, 2016

I signed up thinking I was getting a one time resume and ended up getting my credit card billed $50 per month for a service I was not using. Pretty much a scam. I sombody doesnt sign up after 14 days chances are they are not interested so you keep billing them?! I wasted $200. I will never use this service again or would I recommend to anybody

Ener is AMAZING, HE made my DAY!
June 21, 2016

I contacted the customer service line today trying to better understand why my husbands bank account and my bank account was being charged for LiveCareer Resume Builder of $39.80 each, per month. I was so very thankful Ener was there on the other line as he is very awesome, pleasant, respectful, never once questioned me as the consumer and extremely thorough looking over both of our charges only to find out for some odd reason my husband and I had 2 LiveCareer accounts for no reason at all. I have no clue the reason behind this, and a lil embarrassed that my husband and I did not ever communicate these charges until now too. Only thing I can think of is our computer saves our username and passwords on your website so never had we questions whose account was what, or that we even both had 2 accounts.
Besides that point, Ener went over and beyond explaining to me all along the way what he was doing to make sure I was clear with his actions and he looked back at the activity on both accounts and saw that we use acnt# ******* and saw that we use that account quite often and we are VERY satisfied with our services actually. He then looked at the account that was tied to my bank account and saw that I had only used it once on May 2015 when the account originated from.
Well needless to say I asked Ener if he could PLEASE cancel that account, and please credit back my bank account for the $517.40 total for the whole year if no use and he was able to only credit back my account 5 months worth with his limitations... BUT... the other GREAT news is Ener went over and beyond AGAIN and reached out to upper management to see if I could get credited back for the full 13 months of non use due to the fact I am a loyal customer and have been and due to the odd situation.
So all I gotta say in conclusion is after being in customer service all my working life, ENER was the BEST CS Rep I have ever ever worked with and I really feel he deserves to be recognized for it for sure! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH ENER, we never ever get great news like this HE MADE MY DAY... shoot what am I talking about he made my YEAR! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
