As there are more chances of error in PDF, it is advisable to create resumes in word format. A resume in a PDF format may have the following concerns:
In the above-mentioned case, the parser reads the content from the left-hand side first. This means that all the Employers with Job periods will be read first, and Employers will be picked up correctly with mentioned job periods. Now after reading the left-hand side content, the parser starts reading content from right-hand side, which contains the job profile and job description. So, Job profiles are separately read by the parser and are nowhere near to or matching with any of the employers after conversion.
In this case, all the job profiles will be skipped and cannot be picked up with any of the employers.
This is the limitation of the third-party tool used for PDF file conversion.
If you want a job, put your contact information first. Contact info should never be
placed in one or two lines, nor placed into columns.

a. If the first degree mentioned in the resume file is not a valid one (like High school,
Senior Secondary etc.), or degree is not mentioned, then that degree will be skipped
and second degree will be picked up with first School or university or institute name and
other information mentioned with it. Further, the third degree will be picked with second
school or university or institute name and so on.
For example: -Below content mentioned in the resume.

c. Degree in qualification overlapped
In the first case, everything will be picked up. But in the second case, a degree MBA is
mentioned before university name ‘UCEMA’ and this will merge as mentioned in the
screenshot. Same way, other degrees also get overlapped as per the screenshot.
d. Education should not be written in a single line. For getting segregation of different
Universities and degrees, it should be mentioned in a new line, so that the parser can
detect those as different one. If 2-3 degrees are written in one line, even if there is comma, full stop etc. in between the degrees, it will be considered as one degree.
