Top 10 misspelled words on LinkedIn profiles

While LinkedIn is a powerful tool to show-off your professional accomplishments, a simple spelling error can undercut your entire resume and ability. 

In a highly competitive job market, simple grammatical errors can put a dent on one's job application. Resumes with multiple grammatical mistakes are about 20% less likely to have an interview than those without any errors, according to a study published by the Public Library of Science.

With people often prioritizing speed over accuracy, grammatical errors may slip through the cracks, potentially costing them a job.
