Interesting. I put my LinkedIn generated resume into the parser, and it only parsed it about 1/2 right.

Which makes me wonder, who is doing the wrong thing here? Is LinkedIn generating a bad resume, or is the ATS parser not able to parse what I assume should be pretty standard, as I imagine a lot of people use that feature of LinkedIn.



This is very helpful to know. Thanks for sharing this. I haven't tested the resume parser with the resume pdf generated from LinkedIn. I just create an issue and will test it next: https://github.com/xitanggg/open-resume/issues/5. I will share more once I look more into it.


Awesome! I attached my PDF to the ticket for you to use for testing.


Thanks, much appreciate it.


Not a bug, it's a feature, at least half of what's on linkedin is fabricated! ;)
