"We also have analyzed millions of job descriptions, giving us unique insight into exactly what recruiters are looking for in job applicants."

Ladders simple resume editor eases a job seeker's concerns on where to start when building or updating a resume and strives to make the process less overwhelming.

Recent research from Ladders review of thousands of resumes has identified three key trends where most people are getting it wrong, specifically relating to grammar, style, spelling errors, and missing information. Findings showed that:

• 68.7 percent of errors were found in missing accomplishments
• 71.6 percent in miscommunication of skills
• 80.4 percent of resumes had errors in former job experience descriptions
