Unfrotunatelly, it happens and I am aware of this. In that case:

a) you are lucky because your CV is not scannable by AI so it's good if you want to keepyoru carieer as far as possible from AI tools ;)

b) you are unlucky: most likely the software recruiters are using to pre-screen applications (and they are using it a lot) is not seeing your CV either so you will be dropped on the first stage, :( work on this if you consider finding new job nowadays

c) if you still want to use my tool consider extracting CV's text to .txt or reformat PDF (this will help you with point b)



I am confused. What makes it not scannable? It's just a Word doc exported to PDF.


Please try this https://www.freeconvert.com/pdf-to-txt It uses the same library I use.

You will probably see only some footer/header content from your pdf.

In general, word doc has some caveats when it generates pdf. Not everything is retrieval when you try to get the pure text content.


Nope. It got the whole thing. Might be an issue with your app.
