Live Chat Customer Service
April 8, 2016

I contacted Alejandra Merlano via the Live Chat option. She was very helpful in answering my questions. She resolved my issue and even gave me an offer I was looking forward to. This is a simple way of connecting with a customer service rep.

AWFUL
April 7, 2016

They are thieves! I signed up for a 14 day trial to build a resume that I ended up not even using because the format was not professionally correct. I just checked my bank account and seen that I have been getting charged 39.80 per month! This is absolute robbery! Sent them a message twice and have gotten nothing back. Legal action will be taken.

I joined for what i thought was $1.99, printed four resumes, and, later, found a charge for $39.80 on my credit card! There is a two week trial period, then an automatic monthly charge as membership! I called to cancel and the customer service rep was extremely rude, not to mention, not a single penny was refunded! $39.80 for 4 resumes! Total scam

George Saved the day!
April 7, 2016

I am a 49 year old recently unemployed no computer skills female. I am headed for a job fair and had absolutely no idea how to do a resume. I was able to easily create a great resume in no time. This site makes it super easy.
When it was time to print the resume the non computer skill monster reared its ugly head again, I took a leap of faith and entered the world of "Live Chat" where George walked me thru the entire process and saved the day! What an angel... thank you thank you thank you...

OK overall
April 6, 2016

I paid 200.00 for a resume I could have done for free, I had to tell them to perk it up some and tell them what to put in it. They still have not responded back with the updates. Not some place I would send anyone at this time. They need a lot of work.

Used their services once and I would never ever used it again. At the beginning I did not know that you had to pay to download a CV created on their website. I spent quite a lot of time doing my CV and at the end, when I tried to download my CV, they asked me to pay around 3 pounds. I had no choice but to pay because I have already spent a lot of time creating the CV. I filled in my bank account details, the money were taken from my account. After that, I have literally never logged in or accessed their website the following two weeks. After two weeks I realized they took 23 pounds from my bank account for a "subscription" I had no idea about! It must have been somewhere in the small print so everybody can get fooled! I was not angry at the beginning or anything as I knew I was going to get in touch with them, explain that I did not used their services and that I was not aware I was subscribing to anything. Guess what? I got in touch with them three times and they refused to refund my money every single time for the following foolish reason: " Requested refund after trial period". I repeat, "a trial period " in which their records were showing that I did not even log in into my accounts or access their website! I would recommend their services to no one! Never use their services!

I do not recommend.
April 3, 2016

I was aware of the 14 day trial period. I requested via their customer service form that my account be canceled within the trial period. However, after being charged for a renewal I was told there was no record of my request. I find that very convenient for them. Also the form promises a quick reply. The only quick reply I received was from the billing department telling me they could not correct the billing. Please, please read the reviews before using.

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.

I signed up for the trial and then started getting charged $39.80 a month. Now I'm being charged by Resumenow and LiveCareer which are the same. This last month I was charged 3 times for $39.80. The product is good but not for $120 a month. It took me a couple of months to figure out what was going on because the names were not the same. I am now trying customer service and that doesn't sound very encouraging. Stay away. There have to be more reputable sites out there.

April 2, 2016

Its the first time I've tried to cancel something (beside the usual and expected sales pitch to try to save) and they haven't given me the round about. Super professional and easy to chat online with a representative. I loved the service when i needed it and will be coming if i choose to again because of how easy it is to do business with them.

NOTHING BUT FRAUD. I MADE ONE RESUME PAID THE 1.95 TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT FIR 14 DAYS. AFTER I PAID I COULD NO LONGER ACCESS IT OR MAKE CHANGES. THEN IN SMALL PRINT THEY SIGN YOU UP FOR A MEMBERSHIP AND START RIPPING YOU OFF FOR VARIOUS CHARGES OUT OF YOUR ACCOUNT. WHEN YOU CALL TO CANCEL THEY SOUND HELPFUL ON THE PHONE AND WILL REFUND YOU MONEY, BUT THEN SEND YOU EMAILS SAYING YOUR REFUNDS HAVE BEEN REJECTED. THEY ARE SUCH A SCAM THEY CAN'T TELL YOU IN PERSON. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM, THEY ARE A SCAM!
