Finding a good job that you like — and see yourself staying at for more than a year — is hard to come by. However, once you've secured the job, it's important not to get too comfortable. If you're not careful, you could sabotage your career with an employer. Here are six blunders that could cause your career to go up in flames.
找一份能够让自己至少好好干一年的工作是不容易的。但是，一旦你找到了这样一份工作，最好不要让自己太安逸。因为如果不注意，你可能会葬送自己的前途。这里列举了可能让你职业生涯毁于一旦的六个错误。

1.Lying
1.说谎
Lying can kill your career at a company before it even starts. Resist the urge to lie on your résumé or during the interview. It may take some time, but eventually you will be caught. So don't add degrees you didn't earn or jobs that you never had. Know that your work history is included in your employment credit report, so information about past jobs can be easily researched. And once an employer discovers your dishonesty, you will be seen as someone who can't be trusted. Just don't do it.
你进入公司之前说的谎可能都让你自毁前程。一定要抑制住你在简历上或者面试中作假的冲动。也许你的造假不会被立马识破，但迟早你会被拆穿。所以不要加入一些你没有取得的学位或者你从来没有参加过的工作。记住你的工作经历包含在你的就业信用报告中，你之前所参加过的工作很容易被查到。而如果老板发现你说谎了，你会被视为一个不值得信赖的人。所以千万别这么做。

2.Sleep deprivation
2.睡眠不足
Working while chronically sleep deprived can cause you to make significant errors. And the stress of not getting enough sleep can make you irritable and just plain unpleasant to be around. Who wants to work with a cranky person who constantly makes mistakes? Get some sleep and spare your co-workers from having to deal with you and the black cloud that follows you all day.
长期睡眠不足会导致你工作中出现重大错误。长期得不到充足的睡眠会使你变得容易烦躁和不愉快。谁会愿意与一个经常犯错误还十分暴躁的人一起工作呢？保证充足的睡眠以便你的同事不用整天面对你和你那愁眉苦脸。

3.Laziness
3.懒惰
If you refuse to do more than what it says in your job description, good luck moving up the ladder. If you don't pull it together and find some initiative, your rung just might get cut off. You should always be looking for opportunities to go above and beyond your required responsibilities. During the process you may even uncover a talent you didn't realize you had.
如果你拒绝在你应做工作的基础上多做点事情，好运将会离你越来越远。如果你不能振作起来，不能积极主动，你的好运可能会被切断。在你应承担责任的基础上，你应该不断的寻求更多的机遇。在这个过程中，你可能会发掘出你之前一直都没意识到的才华。

4.Being a lone ranger
4.独来独往
It's important to be a team player. Let go of the attitude that this is your world and others are merely living in it. This is not your world, and you have to work with other people in order to get things done. If you don't feel like being a team player, at least pretend that you actually like working with people.
团队精神很重要。一定不要有这种心态：这是我的世界，其他人只是生活在里面。你要明白，这不是你的世界，你必须和其他人一起合作来完成某项工作。如果你不喜欢成为一个善于团结合作的人，那么你至少要假装表现出来很喜欢和别人一起工作的样子。

5.Stealing
5.偷窃
This one is pretty obvious, but you'd be surprised at how many employees steal from their employers and even their co-workers. No matter how much you need a few pencils for your child's homework assignment, or a pack of paper for your printer at home, don't take it from your office. If you get caught, and you probably will, most employers will show you the door, no questions asked. So spare yourself the embarrassment and just head on over to your nearest office supply store. Furthermore, a recent study has shown that taking small things, such as a pen or a pack of Post-it Notes, could possibly lead to bigger crimes in the future. If you go to jail for a bigger crime it will be really hard to find a job later on, so try to control the urge.
这是显而易见的，但你如果你知道有多少员工会从老板和同事那里偷窃东西，你就会惊讶了。不管你多么想为你的孩子做功课准备一些铅笔，或者为你家里的打印机准备一包打印纸，请不要从你的办公室拿东西。如果你被抓住了，大多数老板会不问缘由直接解雇你。所以避免让你自己太尴尬，直接去一个离你们办公室最近的商店购买。此外，最近研究表明，平时一些喜欢拿笔或者邮票的行为会导致未来更大的犯罪。如果你因为严重的犯罪被捕入狱，你以后将会很难再找到工作，所以，千万要控制住自己的冲动。

6.Not keeping your skills current
6.不与时俱进
No matter how good you are at your job, your skills will need a tune-up from time to time. The availability of free and low-cost online courses and certificate programs leaves you with no excuse. You can even find helpful courses at your local library. Take the time to develop yourself.
不管你现在在你的岗位上多么优秀，你还是需要一次一次更新自己的技能。网上有很多免费的或者说费用很低的公开课程，你没有理由不去学习。你甚至可以在本地的图书馆找到一些有用的教程。记住，一定要花时间去提高自己。
