Difficult to edit. Did not know this was a paid service, especially when it's advertised as free. "Start today for free!"

We’d like to clarify that our basic access accounts allow you to create and download a plain text version using our examples and tips, Chris.

However, if you would like to download, print or email a professionally formatted version of your new document using our copyrighted templates in a PDF or Word format you’ll 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 if you are not satisfied with the end result!.

Since I moved from NY 8 years ago to start a family I have been determined to find a Staff (Not Freelance) Job NOT Traveling Every Weekend, so I can be a part of my (Now 5 & 8 year old) children grow-up.
I have been sending resumes and paying LiveCareer a ton of Money for 6 Years (?) and last week HR Colleagues at DISNEY, ESPN, ABC, and NBC told me that the ATS format is making my extensive (TV) (EMMY AWARD WINNING) experience Unorganized, Confusing, and not Referenceable.

Also told that many companies see this and remove my Resume from consideration Immediately & Forever.

Then as I try to fix this... Not only are you harassing me for More $ (+/- $1K Thus Far - Paying for Every Google Extension separately for some reason) I keep getting warnings that LiveCareer (AutoApply) is not supported by Chrome. Last time I checked they were both Google Products.

I was wondering why I was getting follow-ups on every FREE site job search (Indeed/LinkedIn/Glassdoor) other than LiveCareer.

Cherry on the top... Wife and I spent 5 hours trying to remedy this yesterday and then I go to log on this AM only to find out Live-Career did not save any changes because (BILLING/Expired Credit Card - Why would I find that After I logged off?

What a ripoff this website is, If you use it once and do not read the fine print, they keep charging you $35 every month. They will not refund you your money. DO NOT USE THEM FOR ANYTHING.

Dear Hugo,

Thanks for your comments.

Hugo, we stated the cost in bold and clear print and stated the details of the subscription options in bullet form, which can be clearly understood. We are also very clear that when you subscribe there is an auto-renewing feature, and if you don’t cancel your subscription, we will bill you at the monthly rate of $34.95. In addition, we sent a payment confirmation email stating the amount of what you have subscribed for and the date of the auto-renewal.

We have 4 ways to cancel a subscription if service is no longer needed: By calling our customer service number at 1-888-816-0576, 17 hours a day, 7 days a week; by live chat, by e-mail at customerservice@livecareer.com, or you can even go to our website, where there is a self-cancellation feature under the “My Account” section.

Best regards,

LiveCareer
