I've been told ATS doesn't work properly on PDFs and word is better for this reason. I used to uploads PDFs prior to this. Now I don't know what to believe, my entire worldview has been upended!

Right, it's a tool companies use to automatically scan and reject resumes based on keywords.

Oh, no. Now they can't scan it...

Also what sort of shitty system can't scan a PDF.

I just don't like being rejected by some dumbass program before a human can look at my resume.

Oh I agree. I was being sarcastic as to now a recruiter has to do their job.

I dunno about that application, but my work has some paid version of Acrobat that reads the text well enough to ctrl+F. The process where it scans the text is super quick too.
