How Lever reads resume structure
These are the documented parsing behaviors our scanner tests every resume against — not speculation. The free scan runs these exact checks on your file.
Does Lever care about section headers?
Yes. Lever's section detection expects standard headers — Experience, Education, Skills. Creative headers ('Where I've Made Impact') can unsort your history in the parsed profile.
What formatting parses best?
Standard headers, single column, conventional bullets. Lever threads your history correctly when the structure is conventional.
