I really like this platform for making resumes. Not only do they have a lot of great and sleek looking resume templates, they also give you wording recommendations, suggestions on job experience and helpful phrases to word your resume more professionally. That really helped me get my resume completed faster and with more accuracy. Would highly recommend.
It said it was completely free so I went over the website and decided to go ahead after spending quite some time making the cv, they told me I had to pay a small fee of £1,45 for a week of unlimited cv's. After spending so much time on the cv I just went ahead for the cheapest option of the one week option but a month later they took out £13,50 out of my bank account unauthorised. Outrageous £16 on a cv which at first instance claimed to be Free, disgusting scam..

When I needed to contact support about my account, Carla was incredibly helpful and kind. She helped me resolve my issue with professionalism and genuine kindness. She was great and I would highly recommend using this site, they also have the best resume builder, which is truly amazing because the formatting is so flexible and adaptive.
Hi, Rich
Thank you for sharing your experience with Carla, we’ll be sure to pass along your positive feedback. If there’s anything else we can assist you with, don’t hesitate to ask!
The site was easy to use, templates are lovely. I an taking a star off because I felt a little put off about not knowing the cost until the end. It felt a bit like "exit through the gift shop"... Oh, you enjoyed your product, great! In order to truly use it, pay up. That said, $2.95 is a reasonable charge. I don't plan to continue my payments beyond 14 days.
Thank you, Kimberly, for sharing your feedback and for giving us a great rating.
The job description templates provided to us could be worded better with higher vocabulary. Also a system that could recognize repeated phrases or words to avoid redundancy and make suggestions that will help you dense and consolidate your resume to one page. That's honestly been my biggest issues and this website could possibly be someone's number one stop if these supportive measures were added.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know your feedback, Brian we’re always happy to hear it! We’re constantly looking to make our products and services better and listening to our customers is a big part of that. With that in mind, we’ve passed your comments along to our team so we can keep improving
I contacted LiveCareer to cancel prior to the free trial expiring. The customer service rep, Silvia, was very kind, patient and answered my questions. When she mentioned the fact that a family member could get use from the services, I immediately thought of my son, who is in the midst of changing careers and my decision had a turnaround. You were a great help Silvia!
Thank you, Darcel, for sharing your experience with, Silvia. We always strive to provide the best customer service experience with a one-stop approach to any situation and your feedback helps make our service even better.
Great at forming professional sentences without sounding too choppy or too long. Also a good variety of vocabulary and I also love that they have "pro top choice" options based on specific careers. Will definitely use this again and will be referring my friends to this website!
Thank you for sharing your feedback and rating us five stars!
I love it. My only problem is my career field is a little different and you don't have the templates I need.
In fashion styling, theater, and film, we do lists of credits, we only need 1 date, we don't do big descriptions, its really job title, production name, production company and date. I have tried to make one of your templates work, but its a long resume now.
Luckily I remembered where I had made my resumes in the past! You make it very easy.

Thank you, Mohamad, our goal is to make sure that our users are satisfied with our services and we’ve fallen short on that for you, we truly apologize. Shortly, you will receive a private message so we can look at your account and give you more details on the matter.
Everything was really awesome. Resume Builder helped me immensely in preparing a very professional resume. Thank you ever so much. I'm eternally grateful for all your wonderful help. Keep up the good work, everyone. You're doing great!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Brenda our team prides itself on providing top-notch customer service and your feedback helps us tremendously.
Design options are good looking, effective and professional. Suggested content for bullet points etc is super helpful and smart. A better experience than I anticipated. Really easy to do! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your feedback and rating us with five-stars!
This was great. I've never ever been good at creating cover letters and resumes. Its just what I need to jump start on finding the job career that I'm looking for.

I love how easy it is to create a winning Resume when I have writer's block and can't do it on my own. Thank you so much! Kind Regards, Lucinda Kerrigan, CPRW
You're more than welcome, Lucinda it’s awesome to know how pleased you are with how your resume turned out.
Very convenient, useful and more professional look. It helps so many people to regain their confident finding a work that they love to do.
Thank you for sharing the love, Jim it’s awesome to know how pleased you are with how your resume turned out.
They deducted money on my account without my consent and later promised to refund my money, however instead they made a second deduction on my account and claimed that they did not do it. These are typical thieves. Run away from such.
They claimed to have cancelled my account, however it is even very active.
Tip for consumers:
I would not recommend anyone to use this site if they value their money. These guys keep chopping your money without your consent.

We’re sorry to hear that you have not had a positive experience with our company, Andrew.
To explain, when users sign up for our 14-day trial, we're very transparent in disclosing the subscription policy in several areas from the sell page to the order confirmation page, in addition to the payment confirmation email as well. That said, we'd greatly appreciate an opportunity to change your mind about us.
At your earliest convenience, please contact us directly at social@livecareer.com please make sure to include your account information.
Great experience and very easy to use. It did not take long and my resume was complete in no time! Thanks Live Career!
Thank you for sharing your feedback and rating us five stars!
The GUI version in the resume editor does not fully represent the actual layout in terms of spacing and line breaks. It takes quite a bit of tweaking to make it look good in a PDF. Also, I do not like that I am forced to always put month and year when year would suffice. But those are things I can fix in an intermediate step. Overall, I am happy with this site. :)
We’ve taken note of your feedback and it’s much appreciated, Rolf. We’re constantly looking for ways to provide the best experience for our customers and comments like yours help us do just that.
Great template. Didn't realize that there was a fee, but after all the time completing it, I decided to pay the $2.95
Thank you for sharing your feedback and rating us five stars!
Great way to build and manage your resume. I would like to see a better price option for the monthly subscription.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for giving us a great rating.
Don't change. Please.

Thank you for this service!

Love this format for creative resume writing. All of the suggestions were useful. I actually enjoyed building my new resume!
Thank you for sharing your feedback and rating us five stars!
Resume writing has always terrified me because it is the first thing a potential employer sees and an initial impression is ached in seconds. This process was kindergarten easy and the results professional. What more could I ask for? Oh, a great price, I got that too!
Thank you for sharing your feedback and rating us five stars!
Very easy to use. I always have a lot of anxiety about updating my resume but using this site was a huge relief and made it manageable.
Thank you, Jessica, we’re happy to hear that it was as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Easy, simple, lots of professional looking layouts. Love how it's so easy to choose wording and edit if necessary.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and rating us five stars!
Very well structured. I would like to have the option of putting a photo and adding some more in my personal info, like age.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Elizabeth!

This is what the site advertised: For 14 day access, $14.95, and for a year $39.80. However, signing up for ANY service aloows the site to store your payment information for further billing, and getting in touch with them, much less obtaining help is nigh impossible. After two weeks they will pull $39.80 MONTHLY from your payment method (please see my review and others on Google and yelp for further verification of this).
I had to cancel my Debit Card account with Bank of America, because the Bank refused to block LiveCareer from my account. I wonder if they are in cahoots or what? I believe a class action suit may be required so we can get our funds back.
Call your bank and change your card number Call them and let them know you have contacted your bank and will contact the better business bureau of you don't get a full refund. Then contact the better bBB and file a formal complaint. You will have a refund within a week. That's how I got my money back
Dont waste your time trying to contact them. I went to my bank and had all future billing refused AND I went to the State Attorney General and reported them.
I tried phoning Anna and I live in new Zealand. No luck. I've also emailed a lot. Our only way out was to cancel my card and my husbands. They won't refund any of it. We have lost nearly $200 in two months. Good luck. I hope you can get something out of them.
