I used site to create mine resume, cover letters, and family member resumes. I also used their resume review service. As a recent job candidate that has not had to look for job for 15 years, I found their format and ease of use very beneficial.

This company is not concerned or sorry about stealing money from thousands of people. They will say, "We're very sorry for your experience. Please contact us directly, blah, blah, blah." When you contact them directly, it's an even further waste of your time because they will just give you the run-around and explain that "you KNEW you were signing up for a subscription." Ummm... no, I don't think most people will pay $40 a month to be able to edit a resume. This company is a scam! Buyer beware. You will think you're only being charged $1.95 to print your resume, when in reality you are signing up for a subscription. Of course, you don't find out about the $1.95 fee until you've already spent time creating your resume. The FREE, FREE, FREE that's plastered all over their website is FALSE ADVERTISING!

I first came across LiveCareer's resume builder four years ago. After a 14 year hiatus I needed to write a resume, and found the task daunting.
LC's resume builder made it so easy to put my resume together. All the tips and examples were extremely helpful.

The link says free resume builder then you spend an hour making a resume and then you ask for payment options. Its bull $#*!. Then I pay for it because I'm not going to spend another hour of my time building another one with another sit.

We’d like to clarify that 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.

However, if you would like to download, print or email a professionally formatted version of your resume using our copyrighted templates in a PDF or Word format you will need to subscribe first for a small fee which we offer a 14-day trial option. In addition, we do grant a 100% money-back guarantee for our trial fee.

My account was being charged without my knowledge for a service I was not using. I called to cancel and spoke with Joe. He was very helpful and got my issues sorted out quickly and efficiently and made sure I understood what was going on. While I am unhappy about the credit card charges I was very appreciative for the good customer service from Joe.

What ever you do, DON'T USE THIS SITE! It is a huge scam. I signed up for the 14 day trial and was told that I would be charged $1.95. I received my credit card bill and they have charged me $39.80 plus a $0.79 foreign transaction fee. I never got a courtesy email about my account being automatically renewed, and my credit card was charged without me knowing. I am livid because I was never informed that I would be charged this money and I was led to believe that my subscription would expire at the end of the 14 day trial. I want my money refunded! I am a college student and $40 is a hard blow to my bank account.

I had been employee at a large corporation for 15 years, when I suddenly found myself out of a job. With no recent experience in Resume writing and cover letter writing I needed some serious help and fast. Livecareer.com was very easy, fast service for a professional custom tailored Resume and cover letter.

I used them to compose a resume, which was an okay experience. Later, I did not renew my one-year membership, and was told when I cancelled they could give me a shorter membership if I needed it. Today, I tried to reactivate my membership for less than one year, and was told they couldn't help me! So, this paying customer will never use their business again; it seems like greed, not customer service.

The website is so user friendly, and the customer service was excellent! They were very quick to answer any questions I had, and were very cooperative.

I was easily able to create several different resumes and cover letters to go along with them. The website had great suggestions and all kinds of different layouts to choose from for all different types of resumes. I definitely recommend this site! It is so worth it!

I just recently discovered that I was being charged for something I did not agree to since April 2015. Along with many other customers you've been able to scam, I, too, wanted the $1 trial with no obligation. Instead I find that it has cost me over $200 to try this $1 service. And yes you may have emailed me the $1 charge confirmation, but not the $39.80 you were actually going to charge. Very Sneaky! I would like to have all my money back. You can check your files to see that I have not used any of your services since the initial trial. Over 500 bad reviews with the same scenario? Not a good business at all, well, good at scamming. Not a reputable business is what I mean.

Hi Shirley J.,

I’m very sorry that you have had this experience with our service. The auto renewal is listed with the features of the 14 day subscription on the sales page, as well as on the payment and confirmation pages. You were also sent an email confirmation of the purchase that also listed the monthly rate and the date that your subscription would auto renew. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email and self-cancellation in your Account Settings.

Please contact me directly with the email address you used to create your account or the last 4 digits of the card that used to purchase and card holder’s name so that we can resolve this issue quickly for you. Please email me at anna.b@livecareer-support.com

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Anna

Unemployment is threatening our lives already, Us engineers, and this stresses and depresses us, please talk to those companies to at least respond even a rejection message is better than nothing at all.

This website does not clearly state that you will be charged to print or download the resume that you may have spent a lot of time figuring out how to do on their template and setting up your resume. What happens is you use their template to create a resume and then after all of the work you do you go to print it or download it and another window comes up charging you to do so. It's not worth the trouble.

Typical sign up, don't read the fine print because we don't have the time to read every end user license agreement or terms of service these days. If we did, we would never get off the computer. They start taking huge sums of money from your account. Big enough to have an impact, small enough that a lot of people won't notice. Around $40 per month. When you contact them saying this is bogus, they don't care. They aren't in this to have a long-term reputable company, they are in it for the quick scam.

They are not a business. I am forced to put 1 star on here, but the reality is they don't act like a business, more like a smooth talking con artist that takes money from old people. Con job in and out, through and through.
