This is why Lemmy feels like a reddit from 15 years ago. Everyone knows what LaTeX is and are giving practical advice.

I've got like two dozen of these in my resume
LaTeX is one of the least likely to have bad alignment, should've went with the tried and true punching bag that is Microsoft word...
A gap in the pdf or actually a gap because you took years to figure it out? Both interpretations are funny.

skill issue
Any stray pixel in a (EDIT: exported) LaTeX document is a confirmed skill issue.
Text rotated 90° clockwise and only occupies the left 1/3 of the page in an MS Word document whose pages are all numbered '2'? Default assumption is "not your fault."
If you're talking about pixels in a LaTeX document that's already a skill issue
Maybe they like TikZ diagrams?
