LiveCareer Reviews Summary

The company's customer service approach is characterized by a mix of commendable support and significant concerns regarding billing practices. Many customers praise the helpfulness, professionalism, and genuine nature of the representatives, noting positive experiences in resolving issues quickly. However, a troubling trend emerges with numerous complaints about unauthorized charges and difficulties in canceling subscriptions, leading to feelings of frustration and distrust. While the quality of the service, particularly in resume building, is acknowledged, the company's billing transparency and communication practices require urgent improvement to enhance overall customer satisfaction and trust.

To clarify, John, 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.

The templates are not so great
April 19, 2021

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.

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!

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.

However, if you would like to download, print or email a professionally formatted version of your new document using our copyrighted templates in a PDF or Word format you’ll need to subscribe first for a small fee which we offer a 14-day trial option.

In addition, we do grant a 100% money-back guarantee for our trial fee if you are not satisfied with the end result!.

Very misleading

Very misleading. Why not just say $2.95 up front instead of saying free? Makes no sense
