This is why the PDF format exists
And why everyone hates it, because when you feed it into their automated CV parser to scrape for details like your employment history and email, it doesn't seem understand the format, or re-OCR's the text to make errors, and out comes garbage.
Word is sadly the defacto way to get a foot in through the door
Just gotta put 1 font size white text at the bottom with all the keywords 😇
You joke, but the top paragraph of my CV is literally that, with a disclaimer at the bottom "THE ABOVE IS ROBOT TEXT"

You could probably hide the instructions in the metadata, AIs read the whole document so they will see it.
