I am a Data Scientist with 3K Technologies, a global Systems Integration and Services firm. As part of a recent project, we had to parse resumes, extract and store information from resumes in a structured format since resumes are often uploaded or sent via email in various formats like PDFs, docx, etc.
Generally, for a PDF format, we need to extract text from PDF for further analysis. PDF resumes are created in various ways. For example, some job seekers create a resume in word format and then save them as PDF, while some create it in LATEX, or make use of online CV templates. Overall, we should be able to parse all these types of resumes and extract every text without any loss of information.
