Accessing your LiveCareer Account

Where do I find the login button?

On livecareer.co.uk, the login button is in the top row of links, next to the chat button.

Why can't I log in?

We understand how frustrating it can be when you can't log in to your account. If you're experiencing this issue, there may be a malfunction in the system. However, we have a few solutions that may help resolve the problem.

One of the first things you can try is clearing your browser's cache. Here are some step-by-step instructions for clearing your cache on different browsers:

On Google Chrome:

• Click the three vertical dots on the top right under the tabs.
• Click 'More tools', then 'Clear browsing data'.
• At the top of the window, select a time range. To delete everything, select 'All time'.
• Check the boxes next to 'Cookies and other site data' and 'Cached images and files'.
• Click 'Clear data'.

On Apple Safari:

• Press Ctrl + Alt + E on your keyboard simultaneously to clear your cache.
• Alternatively, you can click on the 'Safari' tab at the top right of your screen and choose 'Preferences' from the drop-down menu.
• Choose 'Advanced'.
• At the bottom of that window, tick 'Show Develop menu in menu bar', then go to the menu bar and click 'Develop', then 'Empty cache'.

On Microsoft Edge:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Del on your keyboard at the same time.
• Select 'All time' under the 'Time range' drop-down menu.
• Select 'Cache' or 'Cached images and files', and then click 'Clear data'.

If clearing your cache doesn't work, another solution is to try accessing your account from a private browser window or 'Incognito' mode on Chrome. We hope that one of these solutions helps resolve the issue. If not, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us for further assistance. We're here to help.

To access our service, please ensure that you have an active subscription by clicking on the 'Settings' tab and checking for 'Active subscription'.

For the best user experience, we recommend using Google Chrome as our platform's most compatible browser. If you're experiencing any issues, we encourage you to log in to your account using Google Chrome and try again.

Why can't the recruiter/hiring manager open the email I sent with my CV?

We want to ensure that you have the best chance of success in your job application, and so we recommend following these steps to ensure that your CV is in the proper format and can be viewed by potential employers.

Firstly, we recommend checking with the recruiter to confirm that you have downloaded the CV file in the correct format. If not, please download your CV using Google Chrome and save it in a file format that is requested by the employer in the job description, such as .doc, .docx, PDF, ODT, RTF, or TXT. If the job description does not specify a particular file format, we recommend saving it as a PDF or .doc.

Once you have saved your CV in a suitable format, please attach it to an email and send it to yourself as a test. If everything looks good, then you should be able to attach the file to an email and send it to potential employers without any issues.

If you continue to experience any problems, please don't hesitate to contact us for further assistance. We'll be happy to help you in any way we can. 

Thank you for using our service, and we wish you the best of luck in your job search.

Payment details

How do I check for LiveCareer transactions on my bank statement?

On your bank statement, please search for: BLDCV or AUXLiveCareer 844-351-7484.

What are all the available payment methods? 

Please refer to the checkout page on the site for available payment methods. If you're making a payment through a credit card, you may need to contact your bank for additional authorisation. This extra step is sometimes necessary to ensure that the payment is processed smoothly and securely.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and we appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us, and we'll be happy to help you in any way we can.

Why is my credit card not going through and the website is asking to try another card?

When this happens, it’s usually because the bank has placed restrictions on the account. Please contact your bank if your account is restricted and let them know you are trying to process a payment.

I have been charged, and I don't remember subscribing. Can you verify whether I have an account with you?

To help you determine if you have an account with us, we suggest trying the following steps:

• Firstly, please search your emails, including your spam/junk folders, to confirm if you have an account with us.
• If you do have an account, you can try logging in on the sign-in page. If you can successfully log in, this confirms that you have an account with us.
• On the other hand, if you can't log in, click on 'Forgot password', enter your email address, and click 'Submit'. We'll then send you an email with a link to reset your password. If you receive this email, this is another indication that you have an account with us.
• However, if you don't receive an email with a link to reset your password and this isn't in your junk folder either, it's possible that you don't have an account with us.

In case you've tried the above steps and are sure that you don't have an account with us, please get in touch for further assistance. We'll be happy to help you in any way we can. We look forward to resolving this matter for you promptly.
