Answer 1

You could use re module and parse the text with it:

data = '''Name: xyz
Experience:
123 company 2016-2017
567 company 2017-2018
yzx company 2018-2019

Skills:
Python, MachineLearning, Java.'''

import re

#Step 1. Split the string
s = [g.strip() for g in re.split('^(\w+):', data, flags=re.M) if g.strip()]
# s = ['Name', 'xyz', 'Experience', '123 company 2016-2017\n567 company 2017-2018\nyzx company 2018-2019', 'Skills', 'Python, MachineLearning, Java.']

#Step 2. Convert the splitted string to dictionary
d = dict(zip(s[::2], s[1::2]))
# d = {'Name': 'xyz', 'Experience': '123 company 2016-2017\n567 company 2017-2018\nyzx company 2018-2019', 'Skills': 'Python, MachineLearning, Java.'}

print(d['Experience'])

Prints:

123 company 2016-2017
567 company 2017-2018
yzx company 2018-2019
