I was unaware that I would be joining a service that charges 24.95 per month!
To clarify, Dana, 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 unless you choose to cancel your subscription beforehand.
Your feedback is much appreciated, Peter!
It would be great if I had more text formatting options when adding additional Sections.
- PS. A new template where my proficiency for a skill can be showcased next to my skill would be amazing (think of horizontal bars).
Thank you, Chris, we’re always open to new suggestions on ways we can improve and your feedback helps us do just that!
It was a little confusing of the numbers of rating
Thank you, Evelyn, we're always open to new suggestions for improvement!
Said it was free, then charged me and wants to continue to charge me unless I remember to cancel the subscription.
Thank you, Rebecca, for taking the time to review us, when users sign up for our 14-day trial, we're very transparent in disclosing the subscription policy in several areas from the sell page to the order confirmation page, in addition to the payment confirmation email as well.
If you want to avoid any recurring charges simply cancel the account before the trial expires.
Using live career opened up my resume so much more than me doing it on my own.
Thank you, Edward, for trusting us with your new resume!

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.
