The company's customer service approach is characterized by a mix of commendable support and significant concerns regarding billing practices.

However, a troubling trend emerges with numerous complaints about unauthorized charges and difficulties in canceling subscriptions, leading to feelings of frustration and distrust. While the quality of the service, particularly in resume building, is acknowledged, the company's billing transparency and communication practices require urgent improvement to enhance overall customer satisfaction and trust.

I have had to call twice and have received above average support. The agents are very polite, knowledgeable and patient. The online template tool has some flaws in its design for the average user particularly the formatting tool is exasperating. I could sense the support team are well aware of the issue and will go above and beyond to put the customer at ease and diminish the negative impact. I did notice a definite difference in product knowledge between my first tech and my second tech, but a similarity in their language module. I would suggest that you drop the scripted language and allow them to humanize the process, otherwise, you will stifle their creativity and they will become unproductive and dissatisfied.

Evidently I used them to get a resume made about a year ago. I didn't remember doing that and evidently I had signed up for a free trial. Money was charged out of my bank account so I called and was able to get it canceled. I give the four stars because the customer service rep I talked to was extremely helpful and was able to do everything I asked.
Hi Tanner:

I was able to create a nice resume and cover letter with LiveCareer that I am very satisfied with. The only thing I was unsatisfied with was corrected by Luis, the phone representative that helped me to cancel and reimburse me for the charges obtained when I was unaware. The need to cancel after the two week or month period should be made more clear.

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
