There is a good motivation to use good latex templates for job applications: nice and professional look. However, I see that a lot of job application portals try to extract information from pdfs and generate tables. Sometimes, they present this in preview, sometimes they do not. The parsed tables are sometimes incorrect and sometimes horribly formatted with unnecessary curly brackets appearing, icons and symbols (github, skype, telephone) disappearing etc.



By using Latex Templates, is it possible that I am unknowingly disadvantaged. Are uploaded resumes/cover letters ever/always used? Given thousands of applications, is looking at uploaded resume not bothered?
