I was testing resume parser, after getting doubts on how my resume was getting detected after experiementing with structured changes usig A/B testing technique.

After giving up on 90% detection where my job title and company was not being parsed correctly, I built the resume using the builder provided on the application.

And I found that it is not able to parse its own formatting. I think there are some issues in the parsing system.

I too have noticed that. Open resume seems to have intentionally garbled the text content in the generated PDF. Here's a part of what I got when extracting text via pdftotext—keep in mind that I had manually typed everything by hand and downloaded the pdf as-is from openresume.com:

%hough IDd prefer to get hands on with my own code.

And here's how that part look in the PDF:

You can try for your self too: select some text in your open resume pdf, copy & paste it to a text notepad. I don't know what to make of this, but regardless of whether or not this is intentional, I'd say look elsewhere for a resume builder.
