Easy to use and helps create a very professional resume. Helpful to those veterans like me and others that have very little knowledge about resume building.

Also, customer service rep was extremely rude and HUNG UP ON ME.

This company has the absolute worst customer service I have ever dealt with! I will make sure everyone I know via social media and face to face interaction on the daily bases knows how awful this company is! I will not stop bashing them for taking money away my family during a rough time. I tried to communicate with this company to get my money back yet it was the biggest JOKE and waste of time of my life! I will now be disputing with my credit card company. Please don't ever use this company ever! The services aren't even that great. THE ONLY REASON THEY PROBABLY STAY IN BUSNIESS IS BY TAKING PEOPLES MONEY!

Like everyone else I signed up for the Trial, downloaded my resume, then never used it again. I contacted them as soon as I discovered the charge, which was in PENDING status. I called to cancel and refund since it hadn't been used since day 1 of the trial and it was denied outright. I had to go through no less than 8 pages trying to trick you into staying. It said things such as your resume will be deleted permanently and your account will be terminated and other scare tactics to make you stay.
I escalated the claim to my bank with a charge back and they had the audacity to claim that I never cancelled my service (They said service was ongoing) and that I had never contacted them which resulted in them winning. I have a screenshot of the cancellation and audio recordings of your deceptive reps.
I can't believe I have to waste so much time to get my money back, I also filed a claim with the BBB.
Next time you talk to a rep on the phone, mention how you know that you're not the first person to have this problem with their company and they go dead silent. They know it's wrong, they also have the billing dept. separate from the call center we can't argue our case with them.
Everytime they tell you "We'll get back to you" The claim gets denied and then they will deny ever speaking to you.
Also, their site says one month of full access is $34.95. If that is the case, why was I and other people billed for $39.80?
Lying, deceitful company. Avoid like the Plague.

Tip for consumers:
Don't bother, there are better sites out there that are actually free.

DO NOT USE THIS SITE! I had to do a last minute resume and this site popped up when I typed in FREE resume maker. I spent awhile making the resume and at the end you have to pay a $5 free to be able to download it. I was in a rush so I paid the fee and downloaded the resume... and it SUCKED! It looks terrible and in no way usable. On top of that after a week if you don't cancel your account they will charge you a $35 fee... I immediately cancelled and demanded a refund, but they only gave me back a "prorated" $27... that means I paid about $10 for an unusable and crappy resume. STAY AWAY FROM THIS TERRIBLE SITE! I will dispute with my credit card company to get the rest of my money back!

It kind of messed up to wait until I have already created my resume to let me know I have to pay for it. A little transparency would have been appreciated.

To clarify, Anthony, we offer two types of accounts, the first one being a basic access account that gives you the chance to try out our builder before deciding to purchase our premium features, this account allows you to download a plain text version completely free. We also provide a full access account for a small fee that grants you 14-days to print, email, or download your documents using our copyrighted templates, but these features are NOT listed within the free account.

In addition, we do offer a 100% money-back guarantee for our 14-day trial if you are not satisfied with our services.

I went onto this site because it said that it offered FREE templates for resumes and cover letters. I took the time to fill in my information and ended up with a pretty good final product. This is where they got me... after the time and work I spent on the resume I found out that I actually had to pay to get a copy of the resume. I opted for the $1.95 on-time option so that my work wouldn't be worthless. I searched the agreement to make sure I wasn't signing up for something that I didn't want. There was no mention of membership fees where I signed up.
A couple weeks later, my CC company called me to ask if I had authorized a $39.00 charge for Live Career. They were questioning it because they have seen a lot of disputed charges from their other patrons and they assumed that it was not an authorized charge. Apparently, Live Career is on their list of fraud companies that frequently charge innocent customer's cards acknowledging that there will be those that just pay the charge without even looking at it.
I called Live Career twice to cancel the membership (that I did not sign up for) and finally on the second attempt I was able to get a confirmation email stating that the account had been cancelled... only after my card had been charged twice in less than two months. Luckily my CC was looking out for me.
Stay away from these people. Hard to believe that there are people out there that take advantage of people who are trying to better themselves, many out of work and trying to move forward.
