Unusable and un-rewritable resume if needed for specific jobs. Also hard to download.
Needed access to 2 year old resume. Everything was there and I created two more, saved them, and exported to Word. It was easy.

The issue was resolved in an expeditious, comprehensive manner with the representative being very knowledgeable and courteous.
Do not agree with the automatic renewals as I don't feel it was advertised adequately that the renewal would kick in after free subscription.

I customized my resume through "Resume Now" which provides a great service and quality, my only problem was related to auto renew subscription. My subscription got renewed automatically and I got charged for $ 19.95 (I think the price is high) I thought you only get charged per customization or single service, I never noticed that my subscription was going to get auto-renewed, and that I was going to get charged. I presented my problem to an agent through the live chat, and the customer service was incredibly good, I got my problem solved really quick. Thank you for your service, my only suggestion is to make it more affordable.

I needed to write an entry level resume for a summer job. I was able to write it easily on LiveCareer and cancel easily when I was done. I would have kept the membership longer if I needed a more thorough resume.

It was facinating seeing how you could use an already completed resume to make it uptodate. But it was very challenging when it was converted into the different resume styles and the bullets didn't align with some of the statements. That was the point of becoming complicated and frustrated.

Very quick to sort out my problem, my problem wasnt with the software its self, it was just not what i had been looking for and had requested a earlier cancellation roughly 11 months ago, mistakes happen. It was dealt with quick, politely and fast. The refund is apparently 3-5 days, hopefully all goes without a hitch.

Just needed extra work part time. And of course you need a resume so I thought I was getting a free template ends up you get signed up for subscription right off the bat. So I'm out $27.00. But looks like it would be good for someone looking for a full time career.

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
