It's very expensive for something you're going to use once and probably not have to update very often. But it works well and makes creating a resume easy.

This is one of those "services" that is totally designed to rip off unassuming (usually young) people. They offer you something for $1.95 with the caveat that you cancel within a specific window of time or they will charge your credit card $39.95 for a recurring fee. If you are lucky enough to discover the fee, you will quickly find they won't refund the whole thing. They will refund just a portion. The customer service people sound like robots and don't have any authority to do anything but refund a portion of the fee. YOU DON'T NEED THIS SERVICE. USE ANY WORD PROCESSING PROGRAM AND MAKE A RESUME> DO NOT USE THIS!

Hi Connie H.,

I’m very sorry that you have had this experience with our service. All of our subscriptions are auto-renewing. We state this on every page in the purchase process and we send a payment confirmation email stating the date and amount of the auto- renewal upon purchase. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email and self-cancellation in your Account Settings.
Once the subscription has been cancelled, you will not be billed any further. Please contact me again if you have any further issues. You can email me at anna.b@livecareer-support.com.

Best regards,

Anna

DO NOT USE THIS SITE! I had a billing issue with them. I called and talk a man named RJ. He was very rude. He keep laughing at me and hung up on me. I called back and RJ was the one who answered my call again. I asked to speak to he supervisor... once again he laughed at me. When speaking with his supervisor, the gentleman said that I was the one that ended the call. He didn't even listen to the call. Bad supervisor. DO NOT USE THIS SITE! THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE. They did refund my money and was asked not to use their site again. Like I said great customer service.

I created an account to make a resume without any information that I would ever be charged if I did the free trial. Without my permission, my account updated to premium and charged me over $400. This was never mentioned in the terms of agreement (which, yes, I read). A FREE TRIAL account should remain FREE until cancelled, which I did. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE. IT'S A SCAM

LOL to all the dumb $#*!s here. Next time you purchase anything online, try reading the NOT SO FINE PRINT so you'l know what you're signing up to. No one forced you into signing up to their service. I made my resume with them and everything seems to be working fine for me, WITHOUT ANY EXTRA CHARGES ON MY ACCOUNT. And the customer service is great, you're just too dumb to even listen to what the reps are telling you. I signed up and paid for the 4 dollars over the phone, the rep cancelled my subscription before we hung up, I have a great looking resume, and I got the job. Thanks LiveCareer! Don't mind these dumb $#*!s they don't know $#*! LMFAO

THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT WAS EVER CREATED ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB. WHAT ALL PEOPLE ABOVE SAID IS TRUE AND I EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME THING! I TRIED TO CALL, BUT THE NUMBERS WERE CONSTANTLY BUSY! AND THEN I TRIED TO CHAT WITH A REP AND SHE WAS AS SLOW AS A SNAIL. I CHATTED WITH HER FOR AN HOUR BUT IN THE END SHE DIDNT HELP AND SHE JUST LEFT THE CHAT WITHOUT LETTING ME KNOW. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THIS? HUH?

All I wanted to do was cancel my subscription so the lady said to give her moment to process the cancellation. Then she says how about if I lower it from 19 to 14/month and i said no I just want to cancel so again she says ok give me a moment to process your cancellation then comes back again and says how about 3/month. 15 minutes later it's finally cancelled. I mean what part of I JUST WANT TO CANCEL do they not understand.
