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.

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. :)

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.

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?

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!
