I opted to do the monthly 7.95 option. But guess what? It's not monthly. You will pay for the whole entire year but they won't tell you until AFTER you process your payment. I don't mind paying for the services but I would like to know how much I would be paying before I agree to pay. I was under the impression that I would be charged once a month... not forced to pay for an entire year.

Outside of that the website is great. I wouldn't mind using it again but the way they marketed the plans just threw me off.

These are nothing but filthy scam artists.

I signed up for a free trial. I found their site was broken: The online tool was fine, but the exporter was buggy and broken, so I cancelled. This is good evidence, in retrospect, that they are scam artists, because I have coded by own format converters. It is not nearly the most difficult thing you could program.

Two weeks later they charged over $40 to my account.

These are the filthiest kinds of criminals and I can assure you that if this isn't resolved soon, there will be a lawsuit. I have already contacted a lawyer. I've never been scammed like this and I want to make sure these criminals get what they deserve.

It was an ok resume, but it IS NOT FREE. Once you complete it, you must pay a couple bucks for it. But in one month, they will charge you $40 for a membership fee, monthly. So go with someone else.

Hi Steve L.,

I’m very sorry that you have had this experience with our service. All of our subscriptions are 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.

I would appreciate if you can provide me the email address that you used to create the account so I can work directly to resolve your issue. Please email me at [email protected]

I look forward to hearing from you.

I appreciated the resume tools over all, though I had several challenges with logging in and also viewing interview videos.
Expensive product for what was delivered. I wish I hadn't forgotten to cancel for two months-- it was money wasted.

Hi Ronald V.,

I’m very sorry that you have had this experience with our service. As an international company, LiveCareer processes payments through LiveCareer UK, Ltd. with its offices in London, England. Some banks charge an international transaction fee. These fees are charged by your bank and not LiveCareer.

We understand where you are coming from and we appreciate your feedback. We are very committed to providing great service and customer satisfaction. Please contact me directly if you have any further issues. You can email me at [email protected]

It's a total scam, the resumes and cover letter look awesome but if you buy one you pay at first something like $4 but after that they charge you again for the month at $35 with some cents, and then when that is not what you wanted and call to cancel and tell them that this is not anywhere on their website they do nothing for you. I just got ripped off from this company do not use them what so ever unless you want to pay money for something you didn't know was happing or want to use another time besides the one time you paid for the one cover letter or resume.

I used LiveCareer to build my Resume Cover Letter for submitting on-line applications for jobs that provide me the opportunity to grow in my RN career. The tools I used here helped me to move more quickly on job postings I was interested in via on-line applications and resume submissions. In a matter of 10 days I had 2 interviews and a job offer!
