You need to read the fine print very carefully. I unfortunately did not. The site says 'cancel at any time,' not 'cancel at any time but we'll keep all of your money,' which would be a bit more honest. Too bad, it's not a bad site.

Hi Erick K.,

I’m very sorry that you have had this experience with our service. We offer an Annual subscription for $7.95 per month which is a 1-year commitment that requires an upfront payment of $95.40 and is the best value for full access to your resumes for the entire year. The other option is our $1.95 14 day access that auto-renews at $39.80 on the 15th day billed every for weeks if not cancelled. We state this on every page in the purchase process and we send payment confirmation email stating the date and amount of the auto- renewal. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email and self-cancellation in your Account Settings if service is no longer needed.

We are very committed to providing great customer service and again are very sorry that you had this experience. We take all feedback very seriously. It will be forwarded to our Marketing Team. Please contact me directly if you have any further issues. You can email me at [email protected]

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Anna

This is my 3rd time using Live Career
November 9, 2014

This is my 3rd time using Live Career. The 1st was ok as I am a little slow on a computer, the 2nd was better as I got more familiar, well this 3rd time I truly took my time on all the words and used the tips and 1 week later I can finally say I have a job. This 3rd time I did the cover letter too and I guess that really helped.

Thanks Again
Happy User

Livecareer.com has been an awesome experience for me. I don't really know much about making resumes, but the website walked me through everything step by step and ended up helping me make a job winning resume. Not only was I very pleased with the help I got just from the step by step pop ups and suggestions they also had great examples for me to go off of and whenever I was finished I sent it out and had 4 job offers in less than 24 hours of completing and sending out my resume, and here I am 4 days later loving my new job, and I owe it all to Livecareer.com. Not to mention when I was ready to cancel my subscription the people in the live chat were very helpful and very respectful of my needs, they got it taken care of right away as well as sending me a conformation of the cancellation and a detailed copy of our conversation JUST to be sure that I wouldn't get charged again and if I did then there would be no issue refunding my money and resolving the problem. 5***** Very highly recommended for people in the workforce trying to start fresh with a new resume or people who are just simply trying to revise an old one. Livecareer, com has something for everyone.

I signed up for a trial subscription in September and created a few resumes. I really liked the site until I realized all its sneaky tactics. It automatically renewed my subscription at the end of October for a whopping $39.80 without so much as a courtesy email that I was involved in a subscription. I thought I signed up for a trial and am suddenly paying $40 bucks without my knowledge. Not to mention when I go to cancel my subscription it employs sneaky tactics saying my resumes and cover letters will be unavailable if I cancel. Extremely disappointed in my experience. Please be aware when signing up!

Hi Kelsey O.,

I’m very sorry that you have had this experience with our service. We explain that the subscription is auto-renewing if not cancelled. We state this on every page in the purchase process and we send payment confirmation email stating the date and amount of the auto- renewal. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email and self-cancellation in your Account Settings if service is no longer needed.
Resume and cover letters will still be available on site even if the account has already been cancelled, however the options to print, email and download will not be accessible if the account is totally expired.

As a courtesy, I refunded the $39.80. You'll see it on your bank statement within 2-3 business days. I have also sent you a confirmation email for your records.

We are very committed to providing great customer service and customer satisfaction, and again are very sorry that you had this experience. We take all feedback very seriously. It will be forwarded to our Marketing Team. Please contact me directly if you have any further issues. You can email me at [email protected]
