often this stuff is added as white text (as in, blends with backround), and also possibly placed behind another container, such that manual selection is hard/not possible. So even if someone reads the paper, they will not read this.

hypothetically, how would one accomplish this for testing purposes.

Put the LLM instructions in the header or footer section, and set the text color to match the background. Try it on your résumé.

The truly diabolical way is to add an image to your resume somewhere. Something discrete that fits the theme, like your signature or a QR code to your website. Then hide the white text behind that. A bot will still scan the text just fine… But a human reader won’t even see it when they highlight the document, because the highlighted text will be behind the image.
