So I wanted to download my resume but the only options were $20 online and they said there was a 14 day money back guarantee. So I downloaded it, was a corrupt file, and they wouldn't give me my money back. SCAM! Telemarketer even tried to sell me some more stuff when I called to complain. DO NOT USE, MANY OTHER CHEAPER OPTIONS, AND BETTER! :)

I did not like that I could not or did not have the option to go back to choose a subscription. $23.95 every 4 weeks is a lot. I would have like to go back to choose a better option.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and our apologies for any confusion however, we do in fact state everything up-front in order for our users to be aware of the products and services that we offer.

To clarify, 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 which you can copy-paste the text on to our free resume templates located here:

https://livecareer.com/resume/templates

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.

Also, when you sign up for our 14-day trial, you’re automatically enrolled in our monthly subscription service, which we let you know at this stage that you may cancel at any time. Also, when we request your credit card information, we clearly explain that unless you self-cancel or request a cancellation before the end of your trial you authorize us to charge your credit card every four weeks at the regular price of the subscription.

As for the refund policy, we do not process any refunds on recurring charges as stated on our Terms and Conditions page. Our policy is as follows, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the end result during the first 14-days once those days are up we do not process any refunds. For more information please refer to our Term and Conditions page.

We hope that this information helps clear things up, that being said, you can always contact our designated Customer Service Team that can help you with anything related to your account or the services that we offer.

This website preys upon the goodwill of some of the most vulnerable in society -- the unemployed. It misleads and obscures in order to con money from people who devote time, sometimes a good amount of it, to crafting something using services that are artfully made out to be free. The site makes no forthright attempt to reveal that absolutely nothing useful about their site is free, when this information should be on their home page.

I got the 14 day trial, and luckily cancelled in time to avoid the $34.95 monthly auto-subscription that would have followed. I was on top of this because I sensed something rotten in the state of Denmark when, downloading the Word template forms of my resumes, I noticed that they came out more or less uneditable for the future, with font sizes mysteriously changed and non-character bullets that stymy attempts to alter what you've written. You literally need the service to even utilize the formatting in the future.

Please: avoid this site like the plague it is. I hope the people who own this operation never sleep again, forever haunted by visions of their victims. If they had any decency, they would simply reveal the auto-subscription and other monetary terms up front, on the home page of the site. They still might get good business, but I guess hoodwinking people is more profitable. To the owners: you are low, nasty, horrible excuses for human beings. Don't you have hearts? Don't you care? Don't you see what it is you're doing? Evil.

Dear DC,

Thank you for your comments. We appreciate negative and constructive feedback from our customers.

The free account is the ability to try out the Resume Builder to get a feel for how it works, and see what it has to offer before deciding to purchase. There is no cost to TRY it out. At this time we do offer free text (. Txt) download of your resume, but if you want to print a resume to bring to an interview, email your resume/cover letter, or download a professional looking resume then you do need a subscription.

We also take great care to inform our subscribers that the subscription is auto-renewing and you can cancel at any time. Underneath the description of the subscription in bullet form, as well as in the confirmation email you receive once you subscribe. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email and self-cancellation in your Account Settings, but we’re glad that you were able to see that and cancelled your service on time.

DC, we take pride in providing effective and valuable career, resume and cover letter assistance to hundreds of thousands of people and we make every effort to let our subscribers know of this auto-renewing feature as it stated on our subscription sales page as well as on the email confirmation we sent upon purchase.

If you have any questions regarding your subscription, our customer service team is available 18 hours a day, 7 days a week from 6am- Midnight EST at toll free 1-888-816-0576 or through live chat on our site. If you prefer you can send us an email to: customerservice@livecareer.com

Best Regards,

I extremely question the genuineness & character of this company and I don't want the same speech everybody else has gotten. We all know that in good companies, when something happens to tarnish the happy experience of getting the help through their business, they "right the ship." Now, I'm astonished by the number of negative reviews that, by word of mouth, will decrease your potential business at an astronomic level. Yet, you can't simply take necessary information out of the fine print and make it CLEAR which would quickly reduce the number of occurrences of this issue. Second, turn off the automatic charge if not CANCELED after the cheap 7days, which many think they are paying for. But those would mean you would definitely lose thousands of dollars. Why do that then right? I don't care what produce you sell, how good it is or how badly I need it. This is a deeper issue of deceitful-ness & greed. Do NOT use this service and support who they are at the core. There are other services that do just as well or better, may be a little more than the $4, but maybe it's a good business that isn't out to create a good product but set it up in a way that naturally creates extra steps for its customers and makes those important details not stick out. Do not use this service! I unknowingly invested over $150 in this company and overdrafted because of it. Twice, on my OLD account. Shortly after registering for this service, I created a new joint account with my wife. If i would have been more aware of what i was getting into with this product, all of this would have been caught sooner.

Dear Joshua,

I apologize for the misunderstanding. The $3.95 option you chose is good for 7 days and then it auto-renews. Underneath the subscription options in the same size font we state that the subscription will auto-renew on the 8th day. Once you cancel you will no longer be charged. Additionally, we state that on confirmation page, as well as in the email confirmation you received. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email, and self- cancellation in your Account Settings!

Many of our customers continue to use our service for several months during their entire job search and make use of our resume posting service, which increases their chances of getting a job. A monthly subscription to Resume Builder makes tailoring, customizing, and creating cover letters really easy and fast, that’s why we have a recurring billing feature, but you can cancel at any time if service is no longer needed.

You can also contact our customer service team for help! We are available 18 hours a day, 7 days a week from 6am- Midnight EST at toll free 1-888-816-0576 or through live chat on our site. If you prefer you can send us an email to: customerservice@livecareer.com. We also list our contact information on our "Contact Us" and "About Us" Pages on our site.
