The customer support was amazing. Mr. Ronnie Grant (I.D. 23) walked me through step by step with much patience. My original score was boost up with my resume once he made the changes while coaching me on the phone. My cover letter is marketable and a sure fit for my anticipated new role as an Assistant Dean of Business School. Thank you Ron for your help. I truly appreciate it!
Ron really helped me out when I needed a refund for an accidental charge. He was very patient and listened to me present my problem. He then helped as best he could and I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the great feedback Lorraine! We're so glad to hear that Ron was able to assist you all the while leaving you with a great impression!
The software itself is pretty good, but they will keep charging you until you see it on your bank statement. They will not reimburse very much, not a fan of this kind of service.
Hi Andrew, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed our software! Customers continue to incur charges until they cancel their subscription with us. We do not aim to be sneaky with our clients and we do disclose the terms of our subscription at several points. We welcome the opportunity and hope that you'll change your mind about us!
LiveCareer's aim is to help us get work and they are not an expensive service for doing so, so thank you, LiveCareer.
I thought I had a good CV but the LiveCareer service helped me improve it by a lot more and it was much simpler to use than any editing in MS Word, etc. The robo auto filler is a good idea that had a hit and miss success rate, but it was still very easy to just open two windows and copy and paste the relevant content from my LiveCareer account.
Customer service was amazing and very responsive to my requests.
In all, when I am back on the job market, I will definitely use their services again and appreciate that they are trying to automate a very tedious part of the modern online job search (filling information online on countless web pages) and doing so at a cheap price.
John,
Thank you so much for your glowing review of our product and customer service! We truly do try to help all of our customers and we're glad that you noticed! We'll certainly be here waiting to help you should you ever go back on the job market!
Hi Team,
I have used live career for resume making on 21st Jan 2019 it cost me 2.95$.
After that I never used your site but my credit card has be billed 4 times after that (4* 24.95)$. Without any intimation that your subscription has started, this is absolutely fraud business model in terms of payment point of view, You should at least sent a mail for subscription start confirmation and each bill should be mailed as well.
Is this just a loophole or you guys are trying to exploit. Please think about it some one is making their resume on your site and your way of subscription is costing him 96$, Kindly process the refund and change your subscription model so that before monthly subscription will start you should take confirmation from user whether they want to go ahead with this subscription or not.
Hello Shubhangi,
We deeply apologize if there was any confusion on the terms of our subscription. Please allow us a moment to clarify. Once customers are enrolled in our 14-day trial, they are automatically enrolled in our monthly subscription service. This is the first instance in which notify customers that they may cancel at any time. We also indicate that if they do not wish to be charged for the recurring subscription, then they must cancel their subscription before the end of the 14-day trial either through their account or by contacting us. We clearly explain that unless you self-cancel or request cancelation before the 14-day trial expires, you authorize us to charge your account every four weeks at the current rate of the subscription.
The auto-renewal information is listed in multiple areas such as the:
-Sell page
-Payment information page
-Processing payment page
-Order confirmation page
-Payment confirmation e-mail
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience and hope that we were able to leave you with a better impression of us!
After the trial period i was charged two months even though i didn't use their services.
There is no any email or any information regarding the charges every month. I just randomly checked my credit card and found out that i was charged.
Customer service is horrible. They said it is how they work. They said they don't have the policy of refund once paid.
Hi Vasudha,
We were quite disturbed to hear that initially, you did not receive the best customer service that we have to offer! It is common that some of our customers overlook the terms of our subscription conditions and we're glad that we were able to clarify any confusion. Our records indicate that after reaching out to you, as a courtesy (and based on your service usage), we issued you a full refund for the recurring subscription for which you were charged. We're glad that we were able to find a resolution, provide you with our top-notch customer service on which we pride ourselves, and leave you with a better impression of us! Thank you!
Getting assistance with my cover letters was very helpful. And, they were very easy to work with when I was ready to cancel.
Patsy, we're so glad to hear that you found us to be helpful! We thank you for sharing your positive experience!
I let my trial lapse and contacted LiveCareer via a chat option on their site. A staff member named Jerickson was incredibly pleasant helpful in providing a solution (refund and a more affordable monthly subscription rate). They could have told me no since it was my fault that the trial lapsed, but that wasn't the case! A+ customer service. I am also very happy with the resume and cover letter that I created with this service. Highly recommend!
Wow Alexis! We really appreciate you taking out the time to share your positive experience with us! It makes us ecstatic to hear that you had such a smooth process and that we were able to help you get the resume and cover letter you wanted! Thank you for the glowing recommendation!
Charged twice for my signup. Waiting for reply from LiveCareer.
Dont recommend this service based on my experience.
No reply from their support, looks like a Fraud.
Stay away!
Going to ask my bank to cancel/query Transactions

I accidentally bought a package for 95 dollars and when I called customer support a nice female by the name of Sara went with me through the process and got my refund back!
Karon thanks for the nice shout-out for Sara! We're glad that she was able to help!
Vanessa assisted me for quite sometime, she is competent, very helpful, excellent personality worked on my resume and got it perfected was very pleased with her abilities. She is top Notch should be recognized for her skills and excellent customer service skills have not had such experience as such before.
Richard, we're thrilled to hear you speak so highly of Vanessa and the excellent level of customer service she provided you with! We greatly appreciate you taking out the time to leave such wonderful feedback!
Steve was helpful. I explained that I had forgotten that I signed up and that I was billed twice within a week. I decided well, the first $24.95 charge - which was attempted a couple of times until it finally billed late in the cycle - I'll eat, but the second $24.95 came a little soon thereafter on schedule but messed up my personal cash flow.
Steve got me a refund of the second $24.95 charge, and offered my full access to the site for only $4.95 a month. I will review the site tools to see if it can help me truly find another better paying job. Thanks much to Steve for his help.

Hi dear all,
I would love to get this review reviewed by the owner and founder of the company!
I am a subscriber who called to cancel the *******@livecareers! The employee named as "Victor Vargas" assisted me with everything!
He literally solved all the issues i had! Took care of all the concerns i had! Convinced me to stay with the company!
Being a marketing manager of a company i can identify the talent of a person!
I would say victor is one of the best customer service rep. That your company can ever have!
Thanks a lot for the best service!
Regards,
A happy subscriber.
Meet.

We called to cancel an account that was cancelled 9 months ago with a documented email and they did not refund the money. I am opening a dispute with my credit card company.
2 days later: updated to 2 stars from 1 star.
After my credit card company contacted them I was able to get all my money back. They sent me an email stating that they were wrong and the account should have been canceled based on my email.

Really - for the money you can't go wrong. I found the online services easy to use and saved me tons of time trying to do this myself. Customer Service Representative, Elizabeth Ram was extremely friendly and helpful. I was able to get through to her right away! I would recommend LiveCareer's services to anyone wanting a professional resume and cover letter service.

I used their website for a day to build my resume, and paid 3$ which I feel is fair. They charged me 25$ after 2 weeks which seems their policy. I spoke to their customer service and the guy was polite and promised me the money will be refunded. Which never happened, so I had to get with my bank and dispute the charge Looks like they fought back with BOA and reverted the charge. Their customer service is outsourced and the sweet words are a lie. I would suggest to be careful, they were unwilling to send any details thru email when I called them again regarding the same.
Hello, Muralidharan:
We are truly sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused and we're deeply sorry to hear that you experienced this with our company, under no circumstance do we like to hear this kind of news. Upon further account evaluation, we are unable to offer you a refund at this time. Our decision is based on the fact that as a customer, you chose to contact your financial institution before contacting us to provide the refunds to your account. Since these charges were disputed, you will need to contact your bank so they can provide you with the proper resolution. Once your bank intervenes, it is no longer up to us, because the charges were already disputed.
We hope that this information helps clear things up. If you need help in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us directly, as we'll be very happy to assist you personally with anything you need. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused. Please feel free to contact us in case you have further questions.
By far helped me out with what I needed 10/10 would recommend because was by far satisfied. Also customer service is really nice and helps you out a lot
