MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which appear to be part of an SEO link farm. The primary lure seems to be a resume template, but the sheer volume of links suggests a malicious intent to drive traffic or distribute further payloads. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was heavily obfuscated, limiting deeper analysis of the immediate intent beyond link distribution.
