It's OK
March 22, 2013

It's OK. If you never made your own resume. But employers have seen it all before and with the economy the way it is are looking for energetic employees with minds and talents of their own.
I'd like to know out of all the people who love this site and used it, what % actually got hired and for how long.

Scam scam scam
March 20, 2013

Scam scam scam. They offer you a 2.95 one week trial. Just figured out i have been getting billed 34.95 a month for the last few months. Apparently in their terms of service there is a line amongst the endledd paragraphs that says they will bill you forever unless they cancel.

Dear Steve,

I apologize for the misunderstanding. The $2.95 option you chose is good for 7 days and then it auto-renews. Underneath the subscription options in the same size font we state that the subscription will auto-renew on the 8th day. Additionally, we state that on confirmation page, as well as in the email confirmation you received. On our Terms of use we stated “We will automatically charge your credit card or other account at the start of the billing period and at the start of each renewal period, unless you cancel your subscription before the relevant renewal period begins”. Many of our customers continue to use our service for several months during their entire job search and make use of our resume posting service, which increases their chances of getting a job, but once you cancel you will no longer be charged. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email, and self- cancellation in your Account Settings!

If you have further questions, you can also contact our customer service team for help! We are available 18 hours a day, 7 days a week from 6am- Midnight EST at toll free 1-888-816-0576 or through live chat on our site. If you prefer you can send us an email to: [email protected].

COMPLETE SCAM!
March 19, 2013

COMPLETE SCAM! Just got a call from AMEX about fraudulent activity on our account. Sure enough it was a $34.95 charge from livecareer.com that I never agreed to or knew about when I purchased the right to print a supposed free resume on their site a week ago. I should have known. Please beware and stay away! Luckily AMEX will not pay it and I deactivated the resume account so hopefully we are rid of them for good.

Dear Sandy,

I apologize for the misunderstanding. Our free trial gives you the opportunity to try out our resume builder before deciding to purchase. If you like what you see, we ask you to pay for a subscription. The ability to print, email, or download your resume are only listed as a feature of the paid subscription and are not listed as a feature of the free trial. We're sorry for any confusion.

The option you chose is good for 7 days and then it auto-renews. Underneath the subscription options in the same size font we state that the subscription will auto-renew on the 8th day. Once you cancel you will no longer be charged. Additionally, we state that on confirmation page, as well as in the email confirmation you received. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email, and self- cancellation in your Account Settings!

Really bad experience. I payed a lot of money to get a professional Resume written ( because english is my second language) and they did get all my details wrong. They dont know what they are doing! Very unprofessional to misuss my credit card details and keep taking money out of my account. I have not receiced an respond to my email in regards of how badly the Resume has been written. They could have at least offered to have another look. I have been writtibg to Amy Gies the Team Leader!

We are very sorry you did not have the best experience with our Resume Writing Service, but all orders include one free revision once the resume is complete if requested. We thank you for your feedback and we’d be happy to revise the resume so that it better serves your needs.

With regard to being charge on your account, we apologize for the misunderstanding. If you have subscribed for a 7 day package we state that it auto-renews and you can cancel at any time. Underneath the subscription options in the same size font we state that the subscription will auto-renew on the 8th day. Once you cancel you will no longer be charged. Additionally, we state that on confirmation page, as well as in the email confirmation you received. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email, and self- cancellation in your Account Settings!

STAY AWAY! Absolutely Horrible! Wish I had read reviews before I created resume, I signed up for the paid trial, cancelled as soon as I printed and forgot about it... TILL I got a bill for $35 on my credit card! Customer service tries to talk you in circles, if you need a refund just hold on for the ride and DEMAND one! I finally got them to agree to a refund, now I just hope it actually comes...

Total scam and will rip you off. They advertised one price and will keep billing you $34.95 per month. The service I wanted was for $2.95 well I ended up $2.95 plus $34.95.
SCAM artist and definitely fraud. I reportedthem to the BBB and also to the consumer protection agency.
Stay away from these crooks.

Dear Sophia,

I apologize for the misunderstanding. The $ 2.95 that you paid for has an auto-renewal feature and you can cancel whenever you are finished. If you do not cancel we will assume that you are still using our service. Many of our customers continue to use our service for several months during their entire job search. Our subscription prices and policies are clearly stated in the details of the subscription underneath each price option. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email, and self- cancellation in your Account Settings!

You can also contact our customer service team for help! We are available 18 hours a day, 7 days a week from 6am- Midnight EST at toll free 1-855-213-0348 or through live chat on our site.
