We monitor reviews for authenticity
Due to abrupt changes In my industry this year, I find myself searching for new challenges, and Live Career has provided the advice and tools I need to step into my future with confidence.
I found it generic, hard to build my resume with no options for someone with experience/history such as mine that doesn't fit into this current generic environment that employers supposedly use now for choosing/eliminating applicants for further review.

Lovely first time making a resume and it helped me every step of the way :)
Thank you, Destiny, for sharing the love, it’s awesome to know how pleased you are with how your resume turned out.
Your charge for a resume that advertise as free on the website then charge a fee afterwards. This is awful business practice
To clarify, we are in fact free, Janet.
For the benefit of our users, we offer a Basic Access account that gives you the chance to try out our resume builder before deciding to purchase our premium features, this account allows you may download a plain text version of your resume completely free.
We also provide a Full Access account for a small fee that offers a 14-day trial period.

Thank you, Brandi, for sharing your experience!
Very easy to use and the tips and tricks they add really make a difference! Would recommend.
I found this service by looking for similar resumes to help with wording. Then I used the free trial to create my own resume because I was impressed with the examples I found. Once I had the full service I LOVED how helpful and customizable it was to specific opportunities. I wouldn't normally pay for a service where I could do it myself for free - but features offered are just too good to pass up!
Thank you, Emilie, for sharing your amazing feedback, we’re excited to hear you feel that way about our resume builder.
Awesome easy to use and helps organization of work history and skills

It says its free, but will not allow any downloads before paying. Bait and switch
Our website offers a Basic Access account completely free which allows you to download a plain text version of your resume, Ruth.
However, upon finishing the document, we also give the option of continuing with our premium features if users are satisfied with the end result. This gives you the ability to print, email or download your resume and cover letters 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.
Great interface to work with and good template options

Thank you, Brian, for letting us know how easy and straightforward it was to create your 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. 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
