It is a very practical tool for people that need upgrade their resume.
This was a well directed and easy process for completing the resume. The final outcome exceeds my expectations. I would use this process again and will certainly refer to friends and family. Thank you

Excellent service provided. And not a money hungry company.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for giving us a good rating
I wouldve liked to know up front of a cost for use of checker. It felt like a lot of time for an up sell

We're committed to providing excellent service and it’s great to hear we delivered our promise to you. If you need further help, let us know!
The GUI version in the resume editor does not fully represent the actual layout in terms of spacing and line breaks. It takes quite a bit of tweaking to make it look good in a PDF. Also, I do not like that I am forced to always put month and year when year would suffice. But those are things I can fix in an intermediate step. Overall, I am happy with this site. :)
We’ve taken note of your feedback and it’s much appreciated, Rolf. We’re constantly looking for ways to provide the best experience for our customers and comments like yours help us do just that.
Great help typing a cover letter, specially since I have never done one before.
Way to make our day, reviews like yours keep us going, Claudia.
Very helpful - always had trouble preparing a cover letter.
We are always here to land you a hand with your resume and cover letters, Deborah.
Thank you... my resume was never better... very professional
You are very welcome we're wishing you the best of luck in your job search, Mustafa!
Great online service for college students who need help building a resume or cover letter.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, we’re excited to hear you feel that way about our resume builder, Barbara.
Going great! Makes creating different types of resumes very easy!
We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with our resume builder, Kearie!
Not enough flexibility to make changes to headings and cut off of space for titles/ organizations worked for.
Thank you for taking the time to rate our services, Kim!
Unfortunately, our "Heading" sections can not be edited since that is the format for our templates, however, if you are experiencing technical difficulties with the spacings and tittles we would be more than happy to help you with you solve any issues.
Please expect a private message from us shortly.
I wish the price for the service was more affordable and available upfront.
We're always open to new suggestions for improvement, please do not hesitate to reach out to us with more of your feedback, Aiesha!
Its not right to not have the cost information up front. It is a predatory practice to not have the costs up front so you know what you are getting into before you get there. Also, renewing, revolving charges are definitely a predatory practice. I call foul. Be better than that. Where is your integrity?
We regret to hear that you feel this way about LiveCareer, Steve!
Under no circumstance do we allow any sort of predatory practices. We advertise as free because we are. Our basic access accounts allow you to create and download a plain text version of your resume and cover letter using our examples and tips.

More info about job matches and jobs in Canada would be nice.
We are always open to new suggestions on ways we can improve and thank you for providing us with your feedback, Alfredo.
Modern resume format with current job titles and content
Thank you for sharing your satisfaction with us, Claude!
Easy to use, quick to build, but it said free until the very end as always... don't say free anywhere if its not completely free! If i can go on and build, print, and use without entering a credit card then that means free! I am tired of the world saying free and then asking for money! Be honest, i mean were looking for a job so why should we have to pay for a piece of paper and ink we already purchased? Think about it. Otherwise easy and helpful thanks!
We appreciate you sharing your thoughts about our resume builder, Richard!

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
