Interestingly, GitHub refuses to display the PDF, saying that it's invalid: https://github.com/pjimenezmateo/curriculum-bootloader/blob/...

The PDF is basically the assembled bootloader + PDF file, which starts after a few bytes.
Some PDF parsers expect the %PDF header at the beginning of the file, which explains why it does not display on Github.
It does work on macOS Preview though. I'm scared of opening any downloaded file, by now ;)
Doesn't work in Adobe Acrobat, so in context of providing it to recuiters, I'd say your effort is futile.
Since this seems to be the "doesn't work on [reader]" thread, this file doesn't open in SumatraPDF either. I saw someone suggest appending "?raw=true" to the PDF download link, but that didn't work for me either.
It should be fixed now!
Interesting, I have been testing it and apparently it is Firefox's PDF.js that does not like it. I still don't know why. If you are using chrome (or even Edge) it should work.

I get
"There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
when trying to open with Adobe Reader.
Oh, this one I did not check. Thanks, this is very important document reader, I will look into it.
