Was presented as a free resume builder. Guess what its not?
Great easy experience thank you thank you tank you thank you
Thank you, Elspeth, for sharing your feedback and rating us five stars!
The templates are not so great. Having my name is such a huge font with no ability to make it a smaller font is a problem that you can easily fix; some of us don't like having the name in 40 pt. Also the Zety templates were better.
Thank you, Christopher, we’re always open to new suggestions on ways we can improve and your feedback helps us do just that!
Very intuitive program. Quickly took my outdated and horribly formatted resume and made it fast and easy to update and make into something that not only looks good but looks good on me!
Thank you, Mary, for sharing your feedback and rating us five stars!

You do not make clear that you will hold the resume hostage unless we pay for it.
Our website offers a basic access account completely free which allows you to download a plain text version, Laureen.
However, upon finishing the document, we also give the option of continuing with our premium features if you are satisfied with the end result. This gives you the ability to print, email or download your documents using our copyrighted templates, but these features are NOT listed within the Basic Access account.
In addition, we do offer a 100% money-back guarantee for our trial fee if you are not completely satisfied!
Absolutely amazing! I love the templates, very professional and user friendly
Reviews like this really make our day, Raluca, thank you!
Very good flow to guide me through construction of the letter.
Thank you, Kwang, your feedback is much appreciated!
I was dissatisfied to learn I had to pay for what appeared to be a free service.
We’d like to clarify, Christina, that our basic access accounts allow you to create and download a plain text version using our examples and tips.

In addition, we do grant a 100% money-back guarantee for our trial fee if you are not satisfied with the end result!.
Saved a ton of time and surprising how accurate the information is.

I didn't realize I had to pay to get my resume until I'd spent 4 hours writing it up

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
