Question Parses out my title with comma

My last two titles are: “Senior Manager, Design Services” and “Senior Manager, Digital Experience”. When applying thru systems like workday or others, after I upload resume it attempts to parse it into the fields in the experience section. Invariably, they cut off the title after the comma so it only shows “Senior Manager”. I then have to update these every time.

Is there any known way to keep this from happening? My worry is less that it is a pain to update it every time but more so that if there is an ATS or AI behind the scenes, it might also make this mistake and then score me lower. Or where the resume is just uploaded without parsing in a system I can see, it’s all behind the scenes with no chance to fix.

Anyone else experience this and/or know how to adjust to make better. I submit as a PDF and most everything else parses correctly.

Thanks!

you could try putting a dash (-). i have it for two of my experiences and never encountered a problem with my info getting auto filled from my resume.
