Description

@mat926

I noticed in some of the tailored resume it generates , it completely removes the bullet points from my past experiences . In the profile config I have it to preserve the company and schools.

For example , I have this in the profile config:

  "resume_facts": {
    "preserved_companies": ["company1", "company2"],
    "preserved_projects": ["project1", "project2"],
    "preserved_school": "school1",
    "real_metrics": []
  },

Here's the original resume:

Notice there are a couple of problems with this:

  1. It stripped out the bullet points from my previous experiences & projects.
  2. Some of the technical skills I had were also removed. I expected it to keep my existing skills and rearrange the most relevant ones to appear first.
  3. Both schools in my education were placed in 1 line.
  4. There's a title Software Engineer - App Stores added even though my original one has no title.
