Easy cancellation
July 5, 2016

I just wanted to try the service to create a resume and cancel after the 14 day free period. Maria Torres was very couteous and made the cancellation and refund easy and stress free.
I would definitely recommend this website for future resumes if needed and will recommend others and give it a 5 star rating. Exceptional customer care...

I only needed the service to create a resume, and wanted to cancel after the 14 day free period. I was helped by Maria, who made the cancellation and refund exceptionally easy and stress free. No problems!
I will certainly return to this company if I need future assist and service with resumes, etc.
5 star rating!

LiveCareer Product Review
July 2, 2016

I was not overly impressed with the LiveCareer product. I signed up in order to quickly have a nicer template that what I was producing for my resume. I had no intention of continuing on with the product service, but forgot to cancel my subscription and was charged the additional fee that I new was part of the package I signed up for. I also didn't like the fact that I couldn't save the template to computer in a manner that would allow me to later make updates or changes to the resume. I should have asked for a full refund, but I did not because I was satisfied with the resume I created and printed out off of the website. I just wasn't satisfied with not being able to save an editable/updatable copy of the resume to my computer. Basically, the software didn't work the way I wanted/expected it too. Overall the product I received was good, I just expected more out of the service when I signed up.

Site is very good with all the drop down sentences and key words.

I had problems editing the resume in WORD when you add a line or more bullets the line graphics that break up the different sections does not move down with the added line so in screws up the layout of the document. I had to go back into the site to do the editing.

Excellent Customer Service
June 29, 2016

Apparently I signed up for a monthly membership but did not realize it - but when I saw the charges on my credit card and called to inquire, the customer service rep was super responsive and professional and friendly to explain everything as well as promptly issue a refund to my credit card for all unused time. So appreciate that.

Mixed Experience
June 29, 2016

LiveCareer's resume-builder is great, and the work saved makes it worth the $1.95. I feel they communicate the recurring charge well enough that you have only yourself to blame if you're surprised by it.

Where they slip up, however, is making cancellation easy. How on EARTH do you cancel it? For months, I'd been sending emails to the only customer service email I could find on the site... to no avail, while they're charging my card almost $30 per month.

BUT I was pleasantly surprised today to receive quick, easy, pleasant, and totally satisfactory customer service from representative David Bermudez today on the LiveChat. Without a hitch, I was able to both cancel my account and get a full refund all the way back to when I'd originally sent my first cancellation email. It was so quick that I was astonished - high-quality customer service like that is rare.

I also love how they don't just throw away your resumes & cover letters when you cancel the subscription. How not-spiteful and non-manipulative of them (which can also be rare).

This company lures you in with a free resume builder

Then after you spend an hour building your perfect resume, you find out you can not print, save, or access in any way without first paying them around $1.50.

Then for the poor fools who don't read the fine print after a 14 day period they will start charging you a monthly $20.00 without notifying you.

Horrible, shady, despicable company.

Live Career Experience
June 28, 2016

I signed up for the two week free trial period. I used it to my advantage, creating resumes and cover letters and downloading all of them to my computer. It's a great service. They give you "power" phrases and words to go with the appropriate experience on your resume. I also love the layouts and the ways you can modify them.

I was also sent email notifications updating me on job searches that I didn't even know was available through LiveCareer. I only signed up for the site to use the resume builder, not for job searches, but it's an extra tool that someone could find useful. In the end, I found a job, so I guess LiveCareer served its purpose. Cancellation was easy, it just took a phone call, and my experience overall was A-Okay!
