Thanks! Appreciate the quality service provided. Prompt and efficient as well as helpful
Since I moved from NY 8 years ago to start a family I have been determined to find a Staff (Not Freelance) Job NOT Traveling Every Weekend, so I can be a part of my (Now 5 & 8 year old) children grow-up.
I have been sending resumes and paying LiveCareer a ton of Money for 6 Years (?) and last week HR Colleagues at DISNEY, ESPN, ABC, and NBC told me that the ATS format is making my extensive (TV) (EMMY AWARD WINNING) experience Unorganized, Confusing, and not Referenceable.
Also told that many companies see this and remove my Resume from consideration Immediately & Forever.
Then as I try to fix this... Not only are you harassing me for More $ (+/- $1K Thus Far - Paying for Every Google Extension separately for some reason) I keep getting warnings that LiveCareer (AutoApply) is not supported by Chrome. Last time I checked they were both Google Products.
I was wondering why I was getting follow-ups on every FREE site job search (Indeed/LinkedIn/Glassdoor) other than LiveCareer.
Cherry on the top... Wife and I spent 5 hours trying to remedy this yesterday and then I go to log on this AM only to find out Live-Career did not save any changes because (BILLING/Expired Credit Card - Why would I find that After I logged off?

To clarify, we offer two types of accounts, the first one being a basic access account that gives you the chance to try out our builder before deciding to purchase our premium features, this account allows you to download a plain text version completely free. We also provide a full access account for a small fee that grants you 14-days to print, email, or download your documents using our copyrighted templates, but these features are NOT listed within the free account.
In addition, we do offer a 100% money-back guarantee for our 14-day trial if you are not satisfied with our services.
Takes all the pain out of resume writing. Even though I was irritated by the "surprise" of having to subscribe to download my resume, it was so easy that I thought it was worth it.

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
